Moment of Force==Moment of Inertia?

I am doing an ind study Statics and Dynamics class for my undergrad EE. In my book it keeps referring to “the moment of force”. I understand what it is. I just want to make sure that it is the same as “Moment of inertia” that I remember from Physics 211.

On a side note, I know I am gonna have alot of little questions like this since I am independent studying this course and it is not practical for me to post every question I have on this board. The board wouldnt like it either. Since there seems to be only a select group of folks who have a solid enough understanding of this subject matter to explain stuff to a layman like myself would anybody be willing to answer basic questions via email if they have the time?

I am not looking to have someone teach me SnD via email, but if one or more of the geniuses on this board have the time I would love to pick your brains when I am not understanding certain concepts from the book. The book I have is “Vector Mechanics for Engineers 5th ed Beer/Johnston”. It seems to be the standard for most schools. If you have that book I can just say “In example such and such on page such I dont get this thing”.

I promise I wont bug too much, but I dont wanna post a question and have it sink into the SDMB abyss before someone can answer it.

Let me know if you are willing and I will email you! My email address that I set up this account with has been spammed to death so I dont even check that one. Thank you!

Moment of inertia is not the same as the moment of force. Moment of inertia is the rotational equivalent of mass; moment of force (AKA torque) is the rotational equivalent of force. Just as F = m a, Moment of force = moment of inertia times the angular acceleration.
