Radius of gyration of a thin uniform rod of length ' \(L\) ' about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its length is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\sqrt{12}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{12}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{L} \sqrt{12}\)
  4. D 12 L
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mathrm{L}}{\sqrt{12}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( I = \frac{1}{12}ML^2 \) \( Mk^2 = \frac{1}{12}ML^2 \) \( k = \sqrt{\frac{L^2}{12}} = \frac{L}{\sqrt{12}} \)
