Moment of inertia converter
How hard something is to start or stop spinning. 6 units, converted from one table of exact factors.
—
1 kilogram meter² in every other moment of inertia unit
Computed by the same engine that runs the converter above, so these can never drift apart from it.
| From | Equals | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kilogram meter² | 10,000 | kilogram centimeter² (kg·cm²) |
| 1 kilogram meter² | 10,000,000 | gram centimeter² (g·cm²) |
| 1 kilogram meter² | 23.7303604 | pound foot² (lb·ft²) |
| 1 kilogram meter² | 3,417.171898 | pound inch² (lb·in²) |
| 1 kilogram meter² | 54,674.74899 | ounce inch² (oz·in²) |
What each unit actually is
Most converters give you a number and stop. Where a figure is exact by definition we say so, and where it is an average or shifts with conditions we say that too — that is usually the thing you needed to know.
| Unit | Symbol | What it actually is |
