Hi
Have a look at attached formula. This is a part of a software. it is 'Inertia' which has 'Kg.m^2' unit.
You know 'Kg.m^2' is 'Moment of Inertia' unit. What is your idea about this? Does it use 'Inertia' as 'Moment of Inertia'?

Don't see no formula. Impossible to answer without any context whatsoever. Anything more ? If not, go with your assumption.

The unit of measure for "speed" is given as rpm (revolutions per minute). Together with the kg⋅m2 unit of measure for "inertia", it is near certain that it is dealing with rotation and that "moment of inertia" is meant.
