Root Mean Square Acceleration Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Root Mean Square Acceleration is:

\[ RMSA = PA \times 0.7071 \]

Where:

\( RMSA \) is the Root Mean Square Acceleration (m/s²).
\( PA \) is the peak acceleration (m/s²).

Example

Let's say the peak acceleration (\( PA \)) is 10 m/s². Using the formula:

\[ RMSA = 10 \times 0.7071 \]

We get:

\[ RMSA = 7.071 \text{ m/s²} \]

So, the Root Mean Square Acceleration (\( RMSA \)) is 7.071 m/s².

What is Root Mean Square Acceleration?

Root Mean Square Acceleration (RMSA) is a measure of the effective value of the varying acceleration. It is calculated by multiplying the peak acceleration by 0.7071. The most common units for RMSA are meters per second squared (m/s²).
