m/s² to ft/s² (m/s² to ft/s²)
Result
3.280839895 ft/s²
Formula
ft/s² = m/s² × 3.280839895
1 m/s² = 3.280839895 ft/s², and 1 ft/s² = 0.3048 m/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 m/s² × 3.280839895 = 3.2808399 ft/s²
- 10 m/s² × 3.280839895 = 32.808399 ft/s²
- 100 m/s² × 3.280839895 = 328.08399 ft/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).
