Question:

(a) Show that the polar radius of gyration kO of the area shown is approximately equal to the mean radius Rm = (R1 + R2)/2 for small values of the thickness t = R2 ˆ’ R1.

(b) Determine the percentage error introduced by using Rm in place of kO for the following values of t/Rm: 1, 1/4, 1/16.
