What is its radius of gyration about this axis?
- A
- B
- C

Matthew would like to replace the cone with a circular cylinder of the same mass. He does not want this change to affect the performance of his train, so he needs a cylinder with the same moment of inertia as the cone. Find an expression for the radius of the cylinder that he needs to buy.
