### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Define the Radius of Gyration** The radius of gyration (denoted as \( k \)) of a body about a given axis is defined as the distance from the axis of rotation to a point where the entire mass of the body can be assumed to be concentrated without changing its moment of inertia about that axis. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ k = \sqrt{\frac{I}{m}} \] where \( I \) is the moment of inertia of the body about the axis, and \( m \) is the total mass of the body. ...
