Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound-force foot square second measure?
It is a US customary unit for moment of inertia, representing an object's resistance to angular acceleration about an axis.

When should I use gram square centimeter for moment of inertia?
It is best used for small mechanical components, precision instruments, and laboratory devices where cgs units are customary.

Why is the conversion factor so large?
Because it converts a US customary unit to a smaller cgs unit, which involves scaling mass and distance squared into grams and centimeters.

Key Terminology

Pound-force foot sq. second
A US customary unit of moment of inertia equal to one pound-force·foot·second squared, quantifying resistance to angular acceleration.
Gram square centimeter
A cgs unit of moment of inertia representing mass in grams times distance squared in centimeters.
Moment of Inertia
A property quantifying an object's resistance to angular acceleration about an axis.
