When we say "number of g forces" the g we are typically (not always) talking about is the average overall Earth of around g = 9.81 N/kg or m/sec^2 (See NOTE)
So, for example, if a jet jock pulls 2 g's in a hairy vertical climb, he's pulling 2g = 19.62 N/kg on his body. And if his mass is m = 100 kg, that means his effective weight is W = m(2g) = 1962 Newtons.
Bottom line. g forces are measured as the number of average g's.
NOTE: N/kg = kg.m/sec^2//kg = m/sec^2 which is to say they are equivalent units.

∙ 6y agoThey are measured as acceleration, and then divided by the acceleration due to gravity to determine how many times the gravitational acceleration it is.

Is a fixing moment a couple?
A moment, M, is a rotational force measured in inch pounds; a couple is two forces, P, acting in opposite directions and separated by a distance, d. The product Pd is the couple and is measured in inch -pounds, and is an equivalent moment.

Are forces measured in newtons?
Yes, forces are measured in newtons. I did scientific research on it saying it is.
Who measured the gravitational constant G?
Cavendish measured the gravitational constant "G".

What is a g queen?
In the realm of fighter jets it was found that the smaller the pilot, the better they were able to withstand the rather large accelerations involved in high speed turns. These acceleration forces are very similar to a gravitational force and can be measured in multiples of g, the unit force of gravitational acceleration. As small people are better at withstanding g forces it was the females that tended to dominate in this area. Therefore anybody who excelled at withstanding g forces, whether male or female, ended up getting called a g queen.
What is a positive g force?
positive g foces is when a rollercoaster is expiriencing over 0 g forces in other words + g forces
What can a forces be measured using?
newton meter
