Radius of gyration is a distance which is measured from the reference axis that is, it gives the information about the location of center of gravity of abody or centroid of an area. So it says that radius of gyration is not a point that which the whole mass of a body is acted.

The radius of gyration may be defined as the distance from given reference, where the whole mass of body is assumed to be concentrated "to give the same value of the mass moment of inertia". The second part is important without it, the answer is wrong.

As I think that,
The radius of gyration is the imaginary radius of any ROTATING object. There is no equipment to measure the radius of gyration.
