The geometrical centre coincides with the shear centre so the coordinates of the
geometrical centre in the coordinate system whose origin is in the shear centre are
x
c
= 0.0 m and
y
c
= 0.0 m.

The radius of gyration—with
t
=0—is obtained from formula (2.11):
Torsion parameter
k
is obtained from formula (3.19):
