What is the $SI$ unit of the radius of gyration?

Let $M$ be the mass and $L$ be the length of a thin uniform rod. In the first case,the axis of rotation passes through the center and is perpendicular to the length of the rod. In the second case,the axis of rotation passes through one end and is perpendicular to the length of the rod. The ratio of the radius of gyration in the first case to the second case is

Point masses $1, 2, 3$ and $4 \text{ kg}$ are lying at the points $(0,0,0), (2,0,0), (0,3,0)$ and $(-2,-2,0)$ respectively. The moment of inertia of this system about the $x$-axis will be:

Four point masses,each of value $m$,are placed at the corners of a square $ABCD$ of side $l$. The moment of inertia of this system about an axis passing through $A$ and parallel to $BD$ is

$A$ straight rod of length $L$ is made of a material having mass per unit length $m(x) = \lambda|x|$, where $x$ is measured from the center of the rod. The moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through one end of the rod is to be calculated. Given $L = 1 \ m$ and $\lambda = 16 \ kg/m^2$.
