Question

Suppose the acceleration due to gravity at a place is 10 $m/s^2$. Find its value in cm/${\text{(minute)}}^2$.

Answer 1

$10m=10\times 100cm=1000cm$
$1s=\frac{1}{60}min$
$g=\frac{10m}{1s^2}=\frac{1000cm}{\frac{1}{60\times 60}mi{n}^2}$

$=1000\times 3600cm/mi{n}^2=36\times {10}^{5}cm/mi{n}^2$.
