Hi Jason,

Are you talking g-force (g, or gee's), a unit of acceleration?  Metric g =
9.81 meters / second(squared) or g = 32 feet / second (squared)
Divide your acceleration by either of those numbers and that's how many g's
you're pulling.

Or

Are you talking about weight, the force (on an object) due to gravity, Fg?
Force (gravity) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g)

Units of measure
metric: Force -> Newton, mass: gram
English: force -> Pound, mass: slug

And my high school physics teacher, Mrs. Reed both acceleration and force
due to gravity are vectors so they need a direction associated with them -
usually  pointing straight down towards' the center of the earth.

Subject: [TN] Question for the physics "gurus"


How do you convert pound/kilogram to G-force? Is this convertable? Since
G-force is somewhat time derived and pound/kilogram is force derived?
Any help is appreciated.
