standard gravity to foot per second squared
Convert standard gravity (g₀) to foot per second squared (ft/s²). Use an editable acceleration converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 g₀ = 32.17404856 ft/s²
Conversion formula
One standard gravity equals 32.17404856 foot per second squared. Multiply your value in standard gravity by this factor to get foot per second squared. 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 standard gravity is 9.80665 base units; one foot per second squared is 0.3048 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
