A period of 4.1 s is observed for the angular oscillations of a 450-g gyroscope rotor suspended

Question:

A period of 4.1 s is observed for the angular oscillations of a 450-g gyroscope rotor suspended from a wire as shown. Knowing that a period of 6.2 s is obtained when a 50-mm-diameter steel sphere is suspended in the same fashion, determine the centroidal radius of gyration of the rotor. (Density of steel = 7850kg/m3.)
