There are two numerical measures of the inertia of a body: its mass, which governs its resistance to the action of a force, and its moment of inertia about a specified axis, which measures its resistance to the action of a torque about the same axis.
How is inertia calculated?
Calculate the rotational inertia or the moment of inertia by multiplying the mass of the object with square of the distance between the object and the axis, the radius of rotation. ... Rotational Inertia = m(r)(r), where "m" is the mass and "r" is the radius or the distance between the object and the axis.
How do you measure the moment of inertia of an object?
- Moments of inertia can be found by summing or integrating over every 'piece of mass' that makes up an object, multiplied by the square of the distance of each 'piece of mass' to the axis. ...
- Moment of inertia is larger when an object's mass is farther from the axis of rotation.
