Converting from Standard Gravity (g) to Galileo (cm/s²)

What is Standard Gravity (g)

In physics, standard gravity (g) is the approximate acceleration due to gravity on Earth, which is commonly taken as 9.81 m/s² or equivalently 980.665 cm/s².

What is Galileo (cm/s²)

Galileo (cm/s²) is a unit of acceleration in the centimeter-second system of units. It is equivalent to 1 centimeter per second squared.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Standard Gravity to Galileo, you can use the following formula:

Galileo=Standard Gravity×100

And to convert from Galileo to Standard Gravity, you can use:

Standard Gravity=Galileo×0.01

Examples

1. Converting 7 g to Galileo:

7 g=7×980.665=6864.655 cm/s²

2. Converting 5 cm/s² to Standard Gravity:

5 cm/s²=5×0.001019716=0.005098581 g

3. Converting 11 g to Galileo:

11 g=11×980.665=10787.32 cm/s²

4. Converting 7 cm/s² to Standard Gravity:

7 cm/s²=7×0.001019716=0.007138013 g
