Frequently Asked Questions

What does kilogram square meter measure?
Kilogram square meter is the SI derived unit for moment of inertia, representing resistance to angular acceleration multiplied by mass and the square of distance from the rotation axis.

Why convert kilogram square meter to pound-force foot sq. second?
Conversion is needed to translate rotational inertia measurements from the SI system into US customary units, which are often standard in certain engineering fields.

Can this tool be used for other unit conversions?
No, this converter specifically handles conversions between kilogram square meter and pound-force foot sq. second units of moment of inertia.

Key Terminology

Kilogram square meter
An SI derived unit of moment of inertia equal to mass times the square of the distance from the rotation axis.
Pound-force foot sq. second
A US customary moment of inertia unit equal to one pound-force times foot times second squared.
Moment of inertia
A measure of an object's resistance to angular acceleration about an axis.
