rotating your hips in a circle while the rest of your body stays upright
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.
No. Radius of gyration depends upon the axis of rotation of the body.
I believe it is I = mk^2 where k is radius of gyration and m is mass.

Just looking at the gyrations of the helicopter rotors made me dizzy. Gyration= circular or spiraling motion
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
For a solid cylinder, divide the radius of the flywheel by the square root of 2, to get the radius of gyration.
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.
The word gyration means the rotation of an item around another item, for example, the Earth's yearly rotation around the Sun. Another example would be a child's use of the hula hoop.
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.
