Convert Inches per second squared to Feet per second squared

Inches per second squared → Feet per second squared
in/s² × 0.08333333 = ft/s² ft/s² × 12 = in/s²

To convert inches per second squared (in/s²) to feet per second squared (ft/s²), multiply the inches per second squared value by 0.08333333. 1 in/s² = 0.08333333 ft/s², and 1 ft/s² = 12 in/s². 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 in/s².
