What is the acceleration due gravity in cgs system?

Answer 1

Galileo (Gal or gal)the CGS unit of acceleration. One Galileo is an acceleration of 1 centimeter per second per second (cm/s2). This unit is used by geologists, who make careful measurements of local variations in the acceleration of gravity in order to draw conclusions about the geologic structures underlying an area. These variations are typically measured in milligals (mGal). One Gal is approximately 0.001 019 7 g, so a milligal is a very small acceleration, about 10-6 g. The name of the unit honors the Italian astronomer and natural philosopher Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who proved that all objects at the Earth's surface experience the same gravitational acceleration. To avoid confusion with the symbol for the gallon, and to conform to the usual metric style, the symbol for this unit should be Gal rather than gal.

Answer 2

32.174 ft/s2

Sorry, I was assuming you are an Earthling. If you are a Clanger or the Soup Dragon, you will fall at 5.3 ft/s2. If you are a Martian it would be 11.6.

If you have a propensity to falling off cliffs or tall buildings, you should move to one of Saturn's satellites, Tethys 3, where you would fall at just over 5 inches/s2 , but avoid the sun, because you would fall at over 300 yards/s2 - but you would be enjoying the sunburn too much to worry about your landing!

As they say, falling doesn't kill you - it's the stopping!

Answer 3

Gravity is 9.80665 m/s^2 in SI.

The SI unit of acceleration is the gal (symbol: Gal) - 1 gal = 1 cm/s^2

So, acceleration due to gravity is 980.665 Gal.

Answer 4

The acceleration due to gravity in the cgs system is approximately 980 cm/s^2.

Answer 5

9.806

65 m/s^2
