Convert G-force to Standard Gravity

Unit definitions

G-force

G-force is a measure of acceleration expressed as multiples of standard gravity. $1\ \text{g}$ equals $9.806\,65\ \text{ms}^{-2}$, and $2\ \text{g}$ equals $2 \times 9.806\,65\ \text{ms}^{-2}$. G-force is often used to describe the sensation of acceleration.

Standard Gravity

Standard gravity is the average gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface (i.e., sea level). It is equal to $9.806\,65\ \text{ms}^{-2}$.

How to convert G-force to Standard Gravity

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 1 \cdot \text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}}$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $30.0\ \text{g}$ to $\text{gₙ}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 1 \cdot 30.0$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 30$$

$$\therefore \ 30.0\ \text{g} = 30 \ \text{gₙ}$$

Example 2

Convert $80.0\ \text{g}$ to $\text{gₙ}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 1 \cdot 80.0$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 80$$

$$\therefore \ 80.0\ \text{g} = 80 \ \text{gₙ}$$

Example 3

Convert $100.0\ \text{g}$ to $\text{gₙ}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 1 \cdot 100.0$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 100$$

$$\therefore \ 100.0\ \text{g} = 100 \ \text{gₙ}$$

Example 4

Convert $140.0\ \text{g}$ to $\text{gₙ}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 1 \cdot 140.0$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 140$$

$$\therefore \ 140.0\ \text{g} = 140 \ \text{gₙ}$$

Example 5

Convert $180.0\ \text{g}$ to $\text{gₙ}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 1 \cdot 180.0$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{gₙ}} = 180$$

$$\therefore \ 180.0\ \text{g} = 180 \ \text{gₙ}$$
