No. Radius of gyration depends upon the axis of rotation of the body.
For a solid cylinder, divide the radius of the flywheel by the square root of 2, to get the radius of gyration.
Radius of gyration is the distance from the centre of gravity to the axis of rotation to which the weight of the rigid body will concentrate without altering the moment of inertia of that particular body.
Gyration is a noun. It was obvious that the crushed top had had it's last gyration. Our Earth makes one complete gyration per day.
-- tangential speed -- angular velocity -- kinetic energy -- magnitude of momentum -- radius of the circle -- centripetal acceleration
If they have the same radius of gyration (k) they will accelerate at the same rate.If not the ball with the lesser k would accelerate more quickly.

I believe it is I = mk^2 where k is radius of gyration and m is mass.
The radius of gyration is a measure, in mechanics, of the distribution of mass in an object relative to its centre of mass or a specified axis of rotation.
i thing radius of gyration does not depend upon mass because it is the distance between reference axis and the centre of gravity.
radius of gyration = sqrt(Moment of inertia/cross section area) Regards, Sumit
Basically radius of gyration of a substance is defined as that distance from the axis of rotation from which if equivalent mass that of the substance is kept will have exactly the same moment of inertia about that axis of the substance.
Radius of gyration is the distance from the centre of gravity to the axis of rotation to which the weight of the rigid body will concentrate without altering the moment of inertia of that particular body.
It is the square root of ratio moment of inertia of the given axis to its mass.
Constant is a quantity that does not change.
The Radius of Gyration of an Area about a given axis is a distance k from the axis. At this distance k an equivalent area is thought of as a line Area parallel to the original axis. The moment of inertia of this Line Area about the original axis is unchanged.
A constant that does not change!
