It is often similar in magnitude to the radius of gyration.

The radius of gyration specification has also been tightened and went into effect in 2010.

A value greater than 1 indicates an increased radius of gyration due to branching.

The radius of gyration is generally larger than that of the ideal chain.

This motion has a radius of gyration (a Gyroradius) along the magnetic field line.

The radius of gyration calculated in this way for a polydisperse sample is a z-average.

The radius of gyration of a particular molecule at a given time is defined as:

A quantity frequently used in polymer physics is the radius of gyration:

In engineering, where people deal with continuous bodies of matter, the radius of gyration is usually calculated as an integral.

That is, the radius of gyration which is measured is an average over time or ensemble:

As described above, the radius of gyration, R, and the second virial coefficient, A, are also calculated from this equation.

As detailed below, the radius of gyration is also proportional to the root mean square distance between the monomers:

This makes experimental determination of important quantities such as the root mean square end-to-end distance or the radius of gyration much simpler.

This is located under the center of mass, at a distance called the radius of gyration, that depends on the mass distribution along the pendulum.

In polymer physics, the radius of gyration is used to describe the dimensions of a polymer chain.

This ideal ring is known as the equivalent flywheel, whose radius is the radius of gyration.

According to the Guinier approximation the intensity at small q depends on the radius of gyration of the particle.

Gunier showed that a characteristic shape-independent geometric function, called the radius of gyration can be measured from large particle scattering.

Folded proteins have a high density (partial specific volume of 0.72-0.74 mL/g) and commensurately small radius of gyration.

In the latter equation the unperturbed radius of gyration of a chain , where the space dimension .

GPC separates based on the size or hydrodynamic volume (radius of gyration) of the analytes.

In its coil state, the radius of gyration of the macromolecule scales as its chain length to the three fifths power.

This spiral actuated two weighted arms making them move in and out from the centre, changing the radius of gyration and thus the period of oscillation.

Other geometric properties used in design include area for tension, radius of gyration for compression, and moment of inertia for stiffness.

As a third method, the radius of gyration can also be computed by summing the principal moments of the gyration tensor.
