A disc like machine component of 7 kg mass is placed on a horizontal platform, which is suspended by three equal wires, each 1m long, from a rigid support. The wires are equally spaced round the circumference of a circle with 200 mm diameter. When mass centre of the component coincides with the rotational axis of the platform, it takes 30 sec, for 10 oscillations. The platform alone has mass of 2 kg and takes 40 sec, for 10 oscillations. Find moment of inertia of machine components as well as its radius of gyration about the axis through its mass centre.
