About These Units
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.
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.
