  • Kilogram square centimeter is a non-SI unit and may need further conversion for strict scientific use
  • Some engineering calculations may need precise definitions of pound mass versus pound force for accuracy

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound square inch [lb*in^2] measure?
It measures mass moment of inertia using pound-mass times the square of an inch, indicating resistance to angular acceleration.

Why convert to kilogram square centimeter?
Converting to kilogram square centimeter allows use of metric units common in mechanical and robotics design, easing comparisons and calculations.

Is kilogram square centimeter an SI unit?
No, kilogram square centimeter is a non-SI convenience unit and needs conversion to SI units like kg·m² for formal scientific work.

Key Terminology

Pound square inch [lb*in^2]
A unit of mass moment of inertia in the Imperial system, calculated as pound-mass times square inch.
Kilogram square centimeter [kg·cm²]
A metric unit of moment of inertia equal to kilogram times centimeter squared; a non-SI convenience unit.
Moment of inertia
A property that quantifies an object's resistance to angular acceleration about an axis.
