MPH to G-Force Calculator

Calculate G-Force



Formula

The formula to calculate the G-Force (Gf) is:

\[ Gf = \frac{(V / 2.237)^2}{R \times 9.81} \]

What is an MPH to G-Force Conversion?

An MPH to G-Force conversion is a calculation used to convert the velocity of a car (measured in miles per hour) and the radius of a turn into the number of G-forces experienced. This conversion is useful in various applications, such as understanding the forces acting on a vehicle during a turn and ensuring safety in automotive design.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the G-Force:

\[ Gf = \frac{(60 / 2.237)^2}{50 \times 9.81} = 1.74 \text{ G} \]

This means that the G-force for this example is 1.74 G.
