ft/s² to G-force (ft/s² to G-force)
Result
0.03108095017 G-force
Formula
G-force = ft/s² × 0.03108095017
1 ft/s² = 0.03108095017 G-force, and 1 G-force = 32.17404856 ft/s².
Standard gravity is defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s². Density and flow factors follow from the length, mass and volume definitions (for example 1 US gallon per minute = 3.785411784 L/min).
Worked examples
- 1 ft/s² × 0.03108095017 = 0.03108095 G-force
- 10 ft/s² × 0.03108095017 = 0.3108095 G-force
- 100 ft/s² × 0.03108095017 = 3.108095 G-force
Common mistakes
- Actual gravity varies from about 9.78 m/s² at the equator to 9.83 m/s² at the poles; "g" here is the defined standard value.
- GPM here means US gallons per minute; UK pump literature may use imperial gallons (4.546 L).
