The image above represents polar moment of inertia. One essential parameter is needed to calculate the polar moment of inertia, and this parameter is Radius (r).
The formula for calculating polar moment of inertia:
J = πr4/2
Where:
J = Polar Moment of Inertia
r = Radius
Let’s solve an example;
Find the polar moment of inertia when the radius is 22.
This implies that;
r = Radius = 22
J = πr4/2
J = π(22)4/2
So, J = π(234256)/2
J =Â 735936.928/2
J = 367968.46
Therefore, the polar moment of inertia is 367968.46 m4.

Calculating the Radius when the Polar Moment of Inertia is Given
r = 4√(2J / π)
Where;
r = Radius
J = Polar Moment of Inertia
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the polar moment of inertia is 30. Find the radius?

This implies that;
J = Polar Moment of Inertia = 30
r = 4√(2J / π)
r = 4√(2 x 30 / π)
Then, r = 4√(60 / π)
r = 4√19.09
r = 17.47
Therefore, the radius is 17.47 m.
