Convert Standard Gravity to G-force

Unit definitions

Standard Gravity

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

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.

How to convert Standard Gravity to G-force

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

Examples

Example 1

Convert $40.0\ \text{gₙ}$ to $\text{g}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}} = 1 \cdot 40.0$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}} = 40$$

$$\therefore \ 40.0\ \text{gₙ} = 40 \ \text{g}$$

Example 2

Convert $60.0\ \text{gₙ}$ to $\text{g}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}} = 1 \cdot 60.0$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}} = 60$$

$$\therefore \ 60.0\ \text{gₙ} = 60 \ \text{g}$$

Example 3

Convert $115.0\ \text{gₙ}$ to $\text{g}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}} = 1 \cdot 115.0$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}} = 115$$

$$\therefore \ 115.0\ \text{gₙ} = 115 \ \text{g}$$

Example 4

Convert $130.0\ \text{gₙ}$ to $\text{g}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}} = 1 \cdot 130.0$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}} = 130$$

$$\therefore \ 130.0\ \text{gₙ} = 130 \ \text{g}$$

Example 5

Convert $165.0\ \text{gₙ}$ to $\text{g}$.

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}} = 1 \cdot 165.0$$

$$\text{Acceleration}_{\text{g}} = 165$$

$$\therefore \ 165.0\ \text{gₙ} = 165 \ \text{g}$$
