Answer

$k_x=57.7m$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required radius of gyration as follows: $dm=\rho \pi y^2 dx=\rho \pi (50x)dx$ $I_x=\int y^2 dm/2$ $\implies I_x=\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{200} 50x\pi \rho(50x)dx$ $\implies I_x=\rho \pi (\frac{(50)^2}{2})|_{0}^{200}$ $\implies I_x=\rho \pi [(50)^2\times (200)^3/6]$ Now $m=\int dm$ $\implies m=\int_{0}^{200}\pi \rho (50x)dx$ $\implies m=50\rho \pi (x^2/2)|_{0}^{200}$ $\implies m=\rho \pi (\frac{50}{2})(200)^2$ The radius of gyration is given as $k_x=\sqrt{\frac{I_x}{m}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $k_x=\sqrt{\frac{\rho \pi [(50)^2\times (200)^3/6]}{\rho \pi (\frac{50}{2})(200)^2}}$ This simplifies to: $k_x=57.7m$
