Abstract
A sensor system described herein includes a container having a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end. The container includes a first fluid adjacent to the first end of the container and a second fluid that is adjacent to the second end of the container. A third fluid, having a density greater than the first and second fluids, separates the first and second fluids within the container. The sensor system also includes a sensor apparatus that is adapted to output data that is indicative of acceleration of a platform that includes the sensor system, where the data is representative of at least one of: 1) location of an interface between the first fluid and the third fluid in the container; or 2) pressure at the first end of the container caused by compression of the first fluid by the third fluid.
