How it's calculated

Convert standard gravity to meters per second squared— the formula

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

m/s² = g × 9.8066

g = m/s² × 0.101972

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