About These Units
Foot per Second Squared (ft/s²)
Feet per second squared (ft/s²) is the imperial unit of acceleration. Earth's gravity equals 32.174 ft/s² (standard g). Used in US engineering, aerospace, and automotive applications. One m/s² equals approximately 3.281 ft/s².
Milligal (mGal)
A milligal (mGal) equals 0.001 Gal or 10⁻⁵ m/s². Used in precision gravity surveys for oil/mineral exploration, detecting underground structures, and measuring Earth's gravitational field variations. Typical survey precision: 0.01-0.1 mGal.
