Moment of Inertia

Inertia can be termed as a resistance offered by a body to change its state. A rigid body initially at rest will apply resistance when acted by an external force that tends to change its state of rest or velocity, or a body initially at motion will provide resistance in changing its state of velocity or motion for coming to a state of rest. In other words, Newton's first law of motion describes the law of inertia of a rigid body.
