0.001kg·cm²
Nothing on our list is smaller: a small motor rotor is 1,000× harder. Spun at 100 rad/s it would store about 0.0005 J.
What it means
How hard is that to spin?
Moment of inertia depends on where the mass sits, not just how much there is. The same wheel about a different axis gives a different number.
The math
How to convert g·cm² to kg·cm²
To convert gram square centimeters to kilogram square centimeters, multiply by 0.001.
Example: 1 g·cm² × 0.001 = 0.001 kg·cm².
In the other direction, 1 kg·cm² = 1,000 g·cm².
