Milligals to meters per second squared
Type a value in mGal to get it in m/s² instantly.
1×10⁻⁵m/s²
That's 2× as strong as a buried cavity, while an ore body is 2× stronger. A 70 kg person would weigh about 0.07138 g more or less.
What it means
How big is that anomaly?
Survey readings must be corrected for latitude, altitude, tides and terrain before the remaining anomaly means anything about the rock below.
The math
How to convert mGal to m/s²
To convert milligals to meters per second squared, multiply by 1×10⁻⁵.
Example: 1 mGal × 1×10⁻⁵ = 1×10⁻⁵ m/s².
In the other direction, 1 m/s² = 100,000 mGal.
