Written Nov 26, 2013 Upvoted by Zhenqing Li, Major in Polymer Science for almost 9
years. Familiar with polymer chemistry and polymer physics

To understand radius of gyration, you need to know what moment of inertia, which
is the quantity that relates how much torque is needed to change the angular velocity
of a particle or a collection of particles. For a point mass, this quantity depends on
both the mass and the distance from the axis of rotation, by the relation :

This relation can be extended to a collection of point mass, or even a continuous

object by taking a differential element, as in :

Now, for the interesting part. you can treat the collection of particles / continuous
object as if it were a single point where the all the mass was concentrated at certain
distance from the center. This distance is call Radius of Gyration, expressed as:
