Air does not rush off into space because the upward-directed pressure gradient force is nearly always balanced by the downward force of gravity. When these two forces are in exact balance, the air is said to be in hydrostatic equilibrium. 2, record 1, English, - hydrostatic%20balance

On appelle équilibre hydrostatique l'équilibre entre la composante verticale de la force du gradient de pression et la force d’attraction due à la gravité. L'atmosphère est habituellement en équilibre hydrostatique sauf, par exemple, dans le cas du mouvement vertical associé aux orages et dans lequel l'air est accéléré vers le haut ou le bas. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9quilibre%20hydrostatique

La précision des centrales à inertie conditionne directement celle de la trajectoire du missile. En effet, la phase du vol pendant laquelle on peut guider le missile se limite à la phase propulsée, qui dure de 100 à 200 secondes, alors que la phase balistique (non propulsée), où le missile est soumis à la seule attraction terrestre, dure [...] de 1 000 à 2 000 secondes. Aujourd’hui, les limites technologiques des centrales inertielles de type pendulaire sont atteintes et il est envisagé d’utiliser d’autres types de capteurs pour améliorer la précision, tels que des accéléromètres à poutre vibrante. 2, record 4, French, - acc%C3%A9l%C3%A9rom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20lame%20vibrante

Il existe depuis une dizaine d’années de petits accéléromètres à coût acceptable. Il existe plusieurs grands principes : Muruta produit le Gyrostar, un prisme excité par piézo, utilisant la force de Coriolis qui donne trois vitesses angulaires. [...] Les autres fabricants utilisent des lames ou poutres vibrantes donnant des accélérations perpendiculaires aux plans de vibration. Un barreau vibrant lesté, est excité par un piézo, un deuxième piézo collé sur la face opposée de la lamelle recueille le signal de vibration. En cas d’accélération perpendiculaire au plan de la lame, la sinusoïde reçue est déformée, le mouvement étant accéléré dans le sens du déplacement, freiné dans l'autre. Les signaux excitation et réponse sont combinés dans un soustracteur, une manipulation donne un signal qui pilote un convertisseur à PWM(Pulse Width Modulation). Le rapport cyclique variable donne l'accélération. 3, record 4, French, - acc%C3%A9l%C3%A9rom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20lame%20vibrante
