What Is This Tool?

This tool converts acceleration measurements from the SI-derived unit meter per square second (m/s²) to the CGS unit galileo (Gal). It is designed to facilitate the expression of acceleration values, particularly for small-scale gravitational variations used in Earth science and geophysical fields.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the acceleration value in meter per square second (m/s²)
  • Select 'meter/square second' as the input unit
  • Choose 'galileo (Gal)' as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to get the acceleration in galileo

Key Features

  • Simple conversion between meter per square second and galileo units
  • Supports applications in geophysics, gravimetry, and Earth science research
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation
  • Displays conversion examples for quick reference

Examples

  • Convert 1 m/s² to Gal: results in 100 Gal
  • Convert 9.81 m/s² to Gal: approximately 981 Gal

Common Use Cases

  • Measuring local gravitational acceleration variations in geodesy and gravimetry
  • Calculating gravity changes for mineral and oil exploration surveys
  • Calibrating gravimeters and high-resolution accelerometers for Earth science studies

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this converter for expressing subtle accelerations where precision in measuring gravity variations is important
  • Verify calibration of instruments when interpreting converted values
  • Apply the tool primarily for small acceleration values typical in geophysical research

Limitations

  • Galileo is a non-SI unit and best suited for small acceleration values
  • Conversion of very large accelerations may not be practical with this unit
  • Accuracy depends on instrument calibration and environmental factors affecting gravity measurement

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the galileo unit used for?
The galileo (Gal) is used to express small accelerations, particularly variations in gravitational acceleration in geophysics and gravimetry.

How is 1 meter per square second related to galileo?
1 meter per square second equals 100 galileo, reflecting the conversion from the SI unit to the CGS unit.

In which fields is converting m/s² to Gal especially important?
It is especially important in geodesy, gravimetry, exploration geophysics, and calibration of gravimeters used in Earth science.

Key Terminology

meter per square second (m/s²)
The SI derived unit of acceleration representing velocity change of one meter per second every second.
galileo (Gal)
A CGS unit of acceleration equal to 1 centimeter per second squared, used mainly for small gravitational accelerations.
gravimetry
The field studying variations in the Earth's gravitational field, often using units like galileo for precise measurements.
