Convert Standard gravity to Feet per second squared

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

To convert standard gravity (g) to feet per second squared (ft/s²), multiply the standard gravity value by 32.17405. 1 g = 32.17405 ft/s², and 1 ft/s² = 0.03108095 g. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

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