What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert acceleration measurements from gal (Gal), commonly used in geophysical applications, to picometer per square second, a unit suited for nanoscale and atomic-scale acceleration measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the acceleration value in gal (Gal).
  • Select gal as the input unit and picometer per square second as the output unit.
  • Click convert to get the equivalent acceleration value in picometer per square second.

Key Features

  • Converts gal (Gal) values to picometer per square second with ease.
  • Supports expressing tiny accelerations from macroscopic to nanoscale contexts.
  • User-friendly interface suitable for scientific and engineering users.
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installation.

Examples

  • 2 Gal equals 2 × 10^10 picometer per square second, which is 20,000,000,000 picometer/s².
  • 0.5 Gal converts to 0.5 × 10^10 picometer per square second, amounting to 5,000,000,000 picometer/s².

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting gravity anomalies in geophysical surveys using gal units.
  • Describing atomic and nanoscale accelerations in molecular dynamics simulations.
  • Modeling mechanical systems at the nanoscale and MEMS design requiring precise acceleration values.

Tips & Best Practices
