foot per second squared to standard gravity
Convert foot per second squared (ft/s²) to standard gravity (g₀). Use an editable acceleration converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 ft/s² = 0.03108095017 g₀
Conversion formula
One foot per second squared equals 0.03108095017 standard gravity. Multiply your value in foot per second squared by this factor to get standard gravity. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example

About these measurements
Acceleration is the rate of velocity change.
The base reference used here is the meter per second squared. One foot per second squared is 0.3048 base units; one standard gravity is 9.80665 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
