This quantity is equal to the integral of r squared with respect to a differential mass element.
The off-diagonal elements of a tensor generalizing this quantity can be used to find symmetries of an object and are called "products" of a quantity related to this one. This quantity is equal to the integral of r squared with respect to a differential mass element. Its value about an arbitrary axis differs from that about a center-of-mass axis by the product of the mass and the square of distance between the axes, according to the parallel axis theorem. This quantity equals the ratio between torque and angular acceleration, and angular momentum equals this quantity times angular velocity. For 10 points, name this rotational analogue of mass, a body's resistance to rotation.
