    Equivalent acceleration of an accelerometer

    this will come to a qn which i have, i have an accelerometer, when i swing it to its positive direction, will it be a positive or a negative output? so (to be more specific) to a right accelerating accelerometer (positive is right), what should be my output? positive or negative? >> I'm...

    Equivalent acceleration of an accelerometer

    Hi there, I am reading this old journal and found this formulaes. forces on the seismic mass, expressed in inertial reference coordinates, are given by Newton's law as sum of force in x direction = m * x'' sum of force in y direction = m * y'' = Fy = mg the equivalent acceleration...

    Accelerometer measures non inertial or inertial ref. frame

    1. translational acceleration and 2. rotation? Centrifugal can be seen as either a non inertial or an inertial ref. frame, that will account for differing signs. That is my concern.

    Accelerometer measures non inertial or inertial ref. frame

    Hi DH, Thank you for your reply. I was hoping that you can answer my doubt though. >>Say now if I am interested to tell if I should be considering the centrifugal acceleration (I am mounting the accelerometer to a pendulem). Should I be taking the centrifugal acceleration as a non...

    Accelerometer measures non inertial or inertial ref. frame

    Hi there, I am doing some measurement using an accelerometer. I am rather confused with regards to whether I should be see an accelerometer as a non-inertial or an inertial sensor. I have with me 2 commercial accelerometers evaluation board (analog to computer interface). One by the...

    Weird looking version of angular velocity

    thankkssss..~ hmm, do you mind dropping me an email (the bmp) at wincluster@gmail.com thank you.

    Weird looking version of angular velocity

    Sorry. Yes, I meant angular velocity = rate of change of angle over time but my concern is angular vel = normal vector curl rate of change of normal vector over time,

    Weird looking version of angular velocity

    Hi there, It is common that angular velocity = radius * rate of change of degree over time, But I read this somewhere, it reads angular vel = normal vector * rate of change of normal vector over time, Can anyone please explain the correlation? Thank you.
