Radius of Gyration of a Square Channel

 

Radius of Gyration of a Square Channel formulas

\( k_{x} \;=\;  \sqrt{  \dfrac{ w\cdot l^3 - h^3 \cdot \left( w - t  \right) }{ 12 \cdot \left[  w\cdot l - h \cdot \left( w - t  \right)   \right]  }   }   \) 

\( k_{y} \;=\;  \sqrt{  \dfrac{ I_{y} }{ A  }   }   \) 

\( k_{z} \;=\;  \sqrt{  k_{x}{^2} + k_{y}{^2}    }  \) 

\( k_{x1} \;=\;  \sqrt{  \dfrac{ I_{x1} }{ A  }   }   \)

\( k_{y1} \;=\;  \sqrt{  \dfrac{ I_{y1} }{ A  }   }   \)

\( k_{z1} \;=\;  \sqrt{  k_{x1}{^2} + k_{y1}{^2}    }  \)
