EXAMPLE 5 Find the radius of gyration about the x-axis of a homogeneous disk D with density rho(x, y) = rho, center the origin, and radius a. SOLUTION The mass of the disk is m = rhoπa2, so from these equations we have 2 = Ix m = 1 4πrhoa4 rhoπa2 = a2 4 .

So, from the question above I can see that the you are already answering the question and you are stuck up or maybe that's how the problem is set from the start. Do not worry, you are covered in any of the ways. So, from the question we have that;

"The mass of the disk is m = ρπa^2, so from these equations we have y^2 = Ix/m."

(NB: I changed the "rho" word to its symbol).

Thus, the radius of gyration with respect to x-axis = (1/4 πρa^4)/ πρa^2 = a^2/4.

Therefore, the Radius of gyration = a/2.
