Question 1

What is a decigal?

Accepted Answer

A decigal (dGal) equals 0.1 gal or 0.001 m/s². It's used in precision gravity surveys.

Question 2

How do I convert decigal to m/s²?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 0.001 or divide by 1,000. For example, 9806.65 dGal = 9.80665 m/s².

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.
