FAQ

What is the Moment of Inertia?
The moment of inertia is the quantity expressed by the body resisting angular acceleration, which is the sum of the product of the mass with its square of the distance from the axis of rotation. Moment of Inertia is usually measured using the Millimeter⁴ for Second Moment of Area. Note that the value of Moment of Inertia is always negative.
Can the Moment of Inertia be negative?
Yes, the Moment of Inertia, measured in Second Moment of Area can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Moment of Inertia?
Moment of Inertia is usually measured using the Millimeter⁴[mm⁴] for Second Moment of Area. Meter⁴[mm⁴], Centimeter⁴[mm⁴] are the few other units in which Moment of Inertia can be measured.
