Explanation

Formula: Feet per Second Squared = Gals × 0.032808. Why: the gal is tied exactly to meters per second squared through the fixed relationship 1 Gal = 0.01 m/s², so the route stays purely multiplicative.

Gals (Gal): a CGS acceleration unit equal to exactly 0.01 meters per second squared, common in gravimetry and geophysical work.

Feet per second squared (ft/s²): an imperial acceleration unit used in mechanical, transportation, and legacy engineering contexts.

This route is useful when comparing gravimetry and geophysics readings in gals against SI or imperial acceleration scales.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through meters per second squared using fixed acceleration definitions with no offset.
