Mass Moment of Inertia

Introduction

The term 'inertia' refers to the opposition of a body to any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion, i.e., it is a measure of the opposition of a body to acceleration.

Introduction

• The term 'inertia' refers to the opposition of a body to any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion, i.e., it is a measure of the opposition of a body to acceleration.

• Mass of the body is a measure of its opposition to linear acceleration whereas mass moment of inertia is a measure of its opposition to angular acceleration.
