FAQ

What is the Moment of Inertia?
Moment of Inertia is the measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis. Moment of Inertia is usually measured using the Centimeter⁴ for Second Moment of Area. Note that the value of Moment of Inertia is always positive.
Can the Moment of Inertia be negative?
No, the Moment of Inertia, measured in Second Moment of Area cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Moment of Inertia?
Moment of Inertia is usually measured using the Centimeter⁴[cm⁴] for Second Moment of Area. Meter⁴[cm⁴], Millimeter⁴[cm⁴] are the few other units in which Moment of Inertia can be measured.
