Converting from Standard Gravity (g) to Inch per Second Squared (ips²)

What is Standard Gravity (g)

Standard Gravity (g) is commonly used to measure acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface. The standard value for gravity is approximately 9.80665 m/s² or 32.174 ft/s². In the imperial system, standard gravity is often represented in inches per second squared (ips²), where 1 g is equivalent to 386.0886 ips².

What is Inch per Second Squared (ips²)

Inch per Second Squared (ips²) is a unit of acceleration commonly used in the imperial system. It represents the rate of change of velocity in inches per second over a specific time period. To convert from ips² to g, the conversion factor is approximately 0.002590079.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Standard Gravity (g) to Inch per Second Squared (ips²), you can use the formula:

ips²=g×386.0886

And to convert from Inch per Second Squared (ips²) to Standard Gravity (g), the formula is:

g=ips²×0.002590079

Examples

• Converting 4 g to ips²:

4 g=4×386.0886=1544.354 ips²

• Converting 16 ips² to g:

16 ips²=16×0.002590079=0.04144127 g

• Converting 3 g to ips²:

3 g=3×386.0886=1158.266 ips²

• Converting 4 ips² to g:

4 ips²=4×0.002590079=0.01036032 g
