MCQ
$Assertion$ : Radius of gyration of body is a constant quantity.
$Reason$ : The radius of gyration of a body about an axis of rotation may be defined as the root mean square distance of the particle from the axis of rotation
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: D.
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
d
Radius of gyration of body is not a constant quantity. Its value changes with the change in location of the axis of rotation. Radius of gyration of a body about a given axis is given as

$K = \sqrt {\frac{{r_1^2 + r_2^2 + ......r_n^2}}{n}} $
