0.3048m/s³
Nothing on our list is smaller: a train pulling away is 1.64× sharper. At that rate, acceleration reaches one g in about 32.17 seconds.
Convert the other way: m/s³ to ft/s³
What it means
How sharp is that?
Comfort limits are usually about 1 to 1.5 m/s³ for lifts and 0.5 to 1 m/s³ for trains. Above that, passengers reach for the handrail.
The math
How to convert ft/s³ to m/s³
To convert feet per second cubed to meters per second cubed, multiply by 0.3048.
Example: 1 ft/s³ × 0.3048 = 0.3048 m/s³.
In the other direction, 1 m/s³ = 3.28084 ft/s³.
