A] is the air velocity, g is the gravitational acceleration and [beta] is the thermal expansion coefficient of the air.
This will allow the triaxial accelerometers used here to be oriented within the laboratory coordinate system, allowing both the magnitude and direction of the resultant impact velocity to be determined and both the magnitude and direction of the gravitational acceleration to be correctly accounted for (here it was assumed to be oriented downward).
The force required to maintain static equilibrium is equal to an object's mass multiplied by gravitational acceleration.
