Convert Centimeter per Second Squared to Microgal

Convert centimeters per second squared to microgals by entering a value below.

1 cm/s² (centimeters per second squared) = 1000000 μGal (microgals)

How to Convert Centimeters per Second Squared to Microgals

The centimeter per second squared and microgal are both units of acceleration. By definition, 1 centimeter per second squared equals exactly 1000000 microgals. This means to convert centimeters per second squared to microgals, you multiply by 1000000.

Formula

microgals = centimeters per second squared × 1000000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 cm/s² to microgals:

1
Convert 5 cm/s² to microgals

We need to convert centimeters per second squared to microgals

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 cm/s² = 1000000 μGal, multiply by 1000000

5 × 1000000 = 5000000

Answer

5 cm/s² = 5000000 μGal

About These Units

Centimeter per Second Squared (cm/s²)

Centimeters per second squared (cm/s²) equals 0.01 m/s² and is identical to the gal (galileo). Used in gravimetry, seismology, and geophysics. Earth's gravity is approximately 981 cm/s². Commonly used for measuring small gravitational variations.

Microgal (μGal)

A microgal (μGal) equals 10⁻⁶ Gal or 10⁻⁸ m/s². Used in high-precision gravimetry for detecting groundwater changes, volcanic activity monitoring, and fundamental physics experiments. Modern gravimeters achieve ~1 μGal precision.
