Moment of Inertia in Laboratory Recommendations, Roof Slope and Oblique Plane Formulas

Moment of Inertia is a property of a two-dimensional plane shape which characterizes its deflection under loading. It is also known as the second moment of area or second moment of inertia. And is denoted by I. Moment of Inertia is usually measured using the Millimeter⁴ for Second Moment of Area. Note that the value of Moment of Inertia is always positive.
