How to convert units in general

Conversions can be done either with the "->" conversion operator or with the equivalent "convert" function. The function has three parameters: a quantity, a unit to convert from and a unit to convert to. Likewise the conversion operator uses three values: the quantity and unit to convert from are placed on the left side of the operator while the unit to convert to goes to the right side.

Acceleration Units

The basic unit of acceleration is the "ms2" (meter / second ²). All units of acceleration are expressed in terms of this base unit and so measurements can be converted from any one of the following units to any other.

cmS2: centimeter / second²: 0.01 ms2
footS2: foot / second²: 0.3048 ms2
g: Gravity: 9.80665 ms2
galileo: Gallileo, aka. gal-acceleration: 0.1 ms2
inchS2: inch / second²: 0.0254 ms2
kmS2: kilometer / second²: 1000 ms2
mileS2: mile / second²: 1609.344 ms2
mmS2: millimeter / second²: 0.001 ms2
mS2: Basic unit of acceleration (meter / second²): 1 ms2
yardS2: yard / second²: 0.9144 ms2

Sample Conversions of Acceleration Units

Convert ms2 to gravitational units (g).

10 ms2 -> g = 1.0197162

convert(10; ms2; g) = 1.0197162

Convert ms2 to galileo.

10 ms2 -> galileo = 100

convert(10; ms2; galileo) = 100

Convert gravitational units (g) to ms2.

10 g -> ms2 = 98.0665

convert(10; g; ms2) = 98.0665

Convert gravitational units (g) to galileo.

10 g -> galileo = 980.665

convert(10; g; galileo) = 980.665

Convert galileo to ms2.

10 galileo -> ms2 = 1

convert(10; galileo; ms2) = 1

Convert galileo to gravitational units (g).

10 galileo -> g = 0.1019716

convert(10; galileo; g) = 0.1019716
