Griffin,

You missed the . before the 94 m/s I said "point" 94 meters per second which would also be 94 cm/sec. Point 94 m/s is very close to 1 meter per second.

"If the 3 mph speed (134 cm/s) was not directly at the wall, you would need to calculate the velocity vector perpendicular to the wall. At 45 degrees, the speed perpendicular to the wall would be 2.1 mph (94 cm/s). At 1 mm (.1 cm) deflection, then, 8798 divided by .2 divided by 980 is 44.9 G's. You need to make sure everything is in the same units: meters, centimeters or millimeters. "

If the table moved 2 mms, the G force would be 22.45 G's.
