Hi Jason,

Why would you like to make that conversion?  What will you use the "results"
of that
convertion for?

Maybe the physics guys will be a little more able to help that way.

No Jason,
I am not a guru, but that's OK. They are not interconvertible. One is a
measure of force, the other acceleration (actually a dimensionless
multiplier of the standard gravitational acceleration, g, 9.8 m/s^2). If you
have an object in mind of a known mass, you could find the force exerted on
it given the acceleration ("G's") by F = m a.

Example: 100 gram object subjected to 5 G's ---------> F = 0.1 kg * 5 * 9.8
m/s^2 = 4.9 Newtons or 0.5 kilogram force or 1.1 lb-force.

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.
