How it's calculated

Convert feet per second squared to standard gravity— the formula

Feet per second squared convert to standard gravity by multiplying by the published conversion factor. The factor below is exact to the precision shown, sourced from the citation under the formula.

g = ft/s² × 0.031081

ft/s² = g × 32.174

m/s²: SI derived. 1 ft/s² = 0.3048 m/s² (NIST SP 811). 1 g (standard gravity) = 9.80665 m/s² exactly (BIPM).
