Rotational inertia is mass times squared radius =============================================== Rotational inertia, or moment of inertia, is a physical quantity that describes a body's ability to be inertial during rotation. It is a rotational analog of mass in linear motion. **Conditions:** #. The object is a material point, rigid and uniform. ..
