Moment of inertia, also called rotational inertia, mass moment of inertia, or polar moment of inertia of mass, is the mass property of a rigid body that determines the torque needed for a desired angular acceleration about an axis of rotation. It depends on the shape of the body and may be different around different axes of rotation.
By multiplying the mass of an object by the square of its distance from the axis of rotation, you obtain the object's moment of inertia. In this article, we will delve into the concept of moment of inertia and explore the most common units it can be expressed in.
