G-force to m/s² (G-force to m/s²)
Result
9.80665 m/s²
Formula
m/s² = G-force × 9.80665
1 G-force = 9.80665 m/s², and 1 m/s² = 0.1019716213 G-force.
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 G-force × 9.80665 = 9.80665 m/s²
- 10 G-force × 9.80665 = 98.0665 m/s²
- 100 G-force × 9.80665 = 980.665 m/s²
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).
