Fliers and astronauts may experience accelerations many times larger than 1 g. These accelerations are usually expressed in multiples of g‚ such as 2g‚ 3g‚ etc.

Determining g on an Incline Lab #1 Theory: During the early part of the seventeenth century‚ Galileo experimentally examined the concept of acceleration. One of his goals was to measure the acceleration due to gravity‚ or the acceleration of freely falling objects. Unfortunately‚ his timing devices were not precise enough to measure the free fall time directly. He decided to “dilute” gravity by using fluids‚ inclined planes‚ and pendulums. Galileo’s idea of diluting gravity using inclined planes
