The rotational inertia / of any given body of mass M about any given axis is equal to the rotational inertia of an equivalent hoop about that axis, if the hoop has the same mass M and a radius k given by k = M The radius k of the equivalent hoop is called the radius of gyration of the given body. Using this formula, find the radius of gyration of (a) a cylinder of radius 4.27 m, (b) a thin spherical shell of radius 4.27 m, and (c) a solid sphere of radius 4.27 m, all rotating about their central axes.
