Convert Centimeters per second squared to Standard gravity

Centimeters per second squared → Standard gravity
cm/s² × 0.001019716 = g g × 980.665 = cm/s²

To convert centimeters per second squared (cm/s²) to standard gravity (g), multiply the centimeters per second squared value by 0.001019716. 1 cm/s² = 0.001019716 g, and 1 g = 980.665 cm/s². The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert g to cm/s².
