If the instrument is accelerated upward with an acceleration of 8g then what will the output given by the instrument be?a) 6.5gb) 6gc) 9gd) 5g

Correct Answer: Option (c)

Explanation: If the accelerometer is accelerated upward with an acceleration of 8g, then (a-G) = 8g – (-1g), and the device reads 9g. Since, an accelerometer measures acceleration of the vehicle, therefore it must be revised for the gravitational effect of Earth.
