How it's calculated

Convert meters per second squared to standard gravity— the formula

Meters 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 = m/s² × 0.101972

m/s² = g × 9.8066

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