Hmmmmm...
True, let's take it slower.
F = MA
A = F/M
A = 4,152,000/546,720
A = 7.594381036
Gs = A/9.8
Gs = 0.77493684041
Maybe I got the numbers wrong. As it turns out, I took the force for
the booster rocket alone and used the mass of the ENTIRE rocket
assembly, which is comprised of two boosters plus the main stage, all
having 4.15 meganewtons of thrust...so we have three times the force,
which makes all the calculations 3 (or more, if exponential) times
bigger. You get the idea though.
