I have a somewhat off topic and apparently simple question, but somewhow I am not doing it correcly...
What I want to do is to compute the G Forces (as in fighter planes) from the internal parameters of a rigid body, more precisely, from the previous "T-0.1666" and current "T" velocities. Velocities are in m/s but the time difference between old and current is 1/60 of a second.
I tried several ways of computing it, like simply taking the acceleration "g = (v" - V') / 9.8" , and computing the angle and moving from that, but the numbers I get don't look real to me (they're either too low or too high compared to what I was expecting), so I'm feeling quite depressed
any help will be appreciated

Re: calculating G forces
The equation you gave failed to also divide by the time difference (0.0166667 for 1/60 of a second).
