Moment of Inertia
It is a geometrical quantity. It
is It is a geometrical quantity.
It is required for analysis and
design of the components /
parts of machine subjected to
moments such as bending
moment, twisting moment
and buckling.
subjected to moments such as
bending moment, twisting
moment and buckling.

Moment of Inertia
Moment of Inertia of an elemental area about
the reference axis is the product of the
elemental area and square of perpendicular A
distance of reference axis from elemental area. x
Moment of Inertia is also known as second
moment of area.
ix = da * y2 iY = da * x2 da
Y
Ix = Σ da * y2 Iy = Σ da * x2
y
I is used for moment of inertia.

S. I. Unit of moment of Inertia is m4 . Generally

X
we use mm for dimensions, if so then unit of MI
is mm4
