Moment of Inertia Formula The Moment of inertia is the property by the virtue of which the body resists angular acceleration. In simple words we can say it is the measure of the amount of moment given to the body to overcome its own inertia. It’s all about the body offering resistance to speed up or slow down its own motion. Moment of inertia is given by the formula Where R = Distance between the axis and rotation in m M = Mass of the object in Kg. Hence the Moment of Inertia is given in Kgm2
