The polar second moment of a planar area about a perpendicular axis is the integral of squared distance from that axis over area. It has units and equals the sum of second moments about two perpendicular in-plane axes through the same origin. For a disk of radius , . It is geometric, not a mass moment of inertia; a uniform cylinder has axial mass moment .
