Moment of inertia describes an objects ability to resist bending. The moment of inertia for a rectangular beam is represented by the formula I= bh^3 /12 where:

    moment of inertia could be in mm^4 as easily as inches^4. To get inches^4, just convert b and h to inches and plug them into the formula. That will give you the answer in inches^4.
