What is 1 dekameter per square second equal to in metres per second squared?

One dekameter per square second equals 10 metres per second squared.

Why convert acceleration to picometer per square second?

To express very small accelerations at atomic or nanoscale levels, such as in molecular dynamics or nanoscale mechanical systems.

Is picometer per square second a practical unit for everyday use?

No, because its extremely small magnitude makes it unsuitable for typical macroscopic acceleration measurements.
