Table 1.
Resultant dynamics at five points along the head-to-foot body axis (tilted 24° downward) placed in the centrifuge (one revolution in 2.09 s).
| Position | X distance (m) | |Centripetal Acc| (ms−2) | |Gz| (ms−2) | dir(Gz) (deg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PH | 0.821 | 0.76 | 1.25 | −52.8 |
| PT | 1.190 | 1.10 | 1.49 | −42.3 |
| PE | 1.390 | 1.28 | 1.63 | −37.9 |
| PL | 1.755 | 1.62 | 1.90 | −31.7 |
| PF | 2.363 | 2.18 | 2.40 | −24.6 |
The elbow was positioned at 1.39 m from the axis of rotation. The first column denotes positions as illustrated in Figure 1 (PH, head; PT, top of trajectory; PE, elbow; PL, lower part of trajectory; and PF, feet). The next columns report, for each point: horizontal distance from the axis of rotation (X-distance), magnitude of centripetal acceleration (|Centripetal Acc|, horizontal vector in Figure 1), magnitude (|Gz|) and direction (dir(Gz) of the gravitoinertial resultant (oblique vector in Figure 1).
