Assume the acceleration due to gravity at a certain location is 10 m/s ^2 . Determine its value in cm/(minute) ^2 .

Step-by-step solution

Given g = 10 m/s ^2 . To convert the unit from m/s ^2 to cm/min ^2 , we use the conversions 1 m = 100 cm and 1 s = 1 60 min . Substituting these into the given value: g = 10 100 cm ( 1 60 min )^2 g = 10 100 (60)^2 cm/min ^2 g = 1000 3600 cm/min ^2 g = 3.6 10^6 cm/min ^2
