g units to
gravity
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(g \text{ } units\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(gravity\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(g \text{ } units\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 9.80665\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 9.80665\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(gravity\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 9.80665\left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 9.80665\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(g \text{ } units\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(gravity\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 9.80665} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 9.80665}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{meter}{square \text{ } second}\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 9.80665} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 9.80665} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 9.80665} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 9.80665} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(9.80665 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 9.80665\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\({\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{9.80665}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{9.80665}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(1.0 = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 1.0\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 1\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(g \text{ } units\right) = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 1}\left(gravity\right)\)
