Acceleration Due to Gravity


Acceleration due to gravity is the rate at which an object speeds up as it falls freely toward the Earth due to the force of gravity. It is represented by the symbol ‘g’, and its standard value on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s². This means that for every second an object is in free fall, its velocity increases by 9.8 meters per second.


The SI unit of acceleration due to gravity is meters per second squared (m/s²). This unit expresses how quickly an object’s velocity changes while falling under the influence of gravity.


The value of g can vary slightly based on location — it is a bit lower at the equator and higher at the poles due to Earth's shape and rotation.


This concept is fundamental in understanding free fall, projectile motion, and satellite orbits, making it an essential part of physics and real-world applications.


Inch and Square Inch 


An inch is a unit of length commonly used in the United States and other countries following the imperial system. It is equal to 1/12 of a foot or approximately 2.54 centimeters. Inches are typically used to measure small distances or dimensions, such as the size of a screen or the height of an object.


A square inch (written as in²) is a unit of area that represents a square with sides that are one inch in length. It is used to measure surface area, such as the area of a piece of paper, a screen, or a section of flooring. One square inch equals 6.45 square centimeters.


While inches measure one-dimensional length, square inches measure two-dimensional area. Understanding the difference between the two is important in fields such as construction, design, and manufacturing where both length and area are frequently calculated.
