Moment of inertia isa measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis that is equal to the sum of the products of each element of mass in the body and the square of the element's distance from the axis

The moment of inertia(I) of an element of mass(m) located a distance(r) from the centre of rotation is given by

I = mr²
