Learning Objectives - After reading this article, you should have learned that:
- The use of alternative testing systems have been in use for two decades in Europe.
- The equation F = ma, when m (mass) and a (acceleration) can be directly measured, can be used to accurately calculate F( f ).
- Accelerometers in common use today are ridiculously sensitive and accurate. With accurate data, near-absolute results can be calculated and verified.
- The results from alternative testing systems successfully challenge the notion that test weights are necessary.
- The A17 committee has language proposed that will allow this technology, assuming the proposal passes the consensus process.
