EXAMPLE 5 Find the radius of gyration about the x-axis of a homogeneous disk D with density rho(x, y) = rho, center the origin, and radius a. SOLUTION The mass of the disk is m = rhoπa2, so from these equations we have 2 = Ix m = 1 4πrhoa4 rhoπa2 = a2 4 .

Radius of gyration = a/2.

Explanation:

So, from the question above I can see that the you are already answering the question and you are stuck up or maybe that's how the problem is set from the start. Do not worry, you are covered in any of the ways. So, from the question we have that;

"The mass of the disk is m = ρπa^2, so from these equations we have y^2 = Ix/m."

(NB: I changed the "rho" word to its symbol).

Thus, the radius of gyration with respect to x-axis = (1/4 πρa^4)/ πρa^2 = a^2/4.

Therefore, the Radius of gyration = a/2.

two charges are fixed in place on the x-axis as shown. the charge at x = 0 is negative and has magnitude q = 2 μcoulombs (1 μcoulomb = 10-6 coulombs). the charge at x = d, (d = +12 cm), is positive and has magnitude q = 4 μcoulombs. find a point x = xo along the x-axis at which the electric field is zero.

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.
