Question 1

What is a centigal?

Accepted Answer

A centigal (cGal) equals 0.01 gal or 0.0001 m/s². It's used for precise gravity measurements in geophysics.

Question 2

How do I convert centigal to m/s²?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 0.0001 or divide by 10,000. For example, 98066.5 cGal = 9.80665 m/s² (1g).

Question 3

Is this conversion exact or approximate?

Accepted Answer

This conversion uses the precise mathematical formula and is exact for standard conditions. For gravitational acceleration, values may vary slightly by location.

Question 4

What is the standard gravity value used?

Accepted Answer

Standard gravity (g) is defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s². This value is used as the reference for acceleration conversions involving g-force.
