To find the radius of gyration of a body about a parallel axis through its center of mass, we can use the parallel axis theorem. The parallel axis theorem states that: \[ I = I_{cm} + Md^2 \] Where: - \( I \) is the moment of inertia about the new axis, - \( I_{cm} \) is the moment of inertia about the center of mass axis, - \( M \) is the mass of the body, ...
