Convert Feet per second squared to Standard gravity

Feet per second squared → Standard gravity
ft/s² × 0.03108095 = g g × 32.17405 = ft/s²

To convert feet per second squared (ft/s²) to standard gravity (g), multiply the feet per second squared value by 0.03108095. 1 ft/s² = 0.03108095 g, and 1 g = 32.17405 ft/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 ft/s².
