Forces during the rotation



The data were collected using Verniers Wireless Dynamic Sensor  System (WDSS), at 25Hz, in one of the outer seats.

Modern phones have 3-axis accelerometer + In addition most also have a 3 axis gyroscope, that would provide interesting data, using e.g. one of the apps: 

So far, most SmartPhones are limited to 2g per axis, but this is essentially sufficient for Mechanica.
