Examples

011 m/s² = 0.101972 g

Example value from the reference table. Internal calculation uses stored factors; display output is rounded.

02Common mistake

Lower-case g as acceleration (9.80665 m/s²) is not the gram. In engineering g usually means standard gravity; in commerce it means gram.

03Base unit: m/s²

1 m/s² = 0.101971621298 g. Metre per second squared is the base unit of the family, so the value is converted directly.
