Moment of Inertia using Reduced Mass Formula Elements

Variables
Moment of Inertia of Diatomic Molecule
Moment of Inertia of Diatomic Molecule is the measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis.
Symbol: I1
Measurement: Moment of InertiaUnit: kg·m²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Reduced Mass
The Reduced Mass is the "effective" inertial mass appearing in the two-body problem. It is a quantity which allows the two-body problem to be solved as if it were a one-body problem.
Symbol: μ
Measurement: WeightUnit: kg
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Bond Length
Bond Length in a diatomic molecule is the distance between center of two molecules(or two masses).
Symbol: Lbond
Measurement: LengthUnit: cm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
