The gal (symbol: Gal), sometimes called galileo after Galileo Galilei, is a unit of acceleration used extensively in the science of gravimetry. The gal is defined as 1 centimeter per second squared (1 cm/s2). The milligal (mGal) and microgal (µGal) refer respectively to one thousandth and one millionth of a gal.
Inch per (second sqaured) is a unit of acceleration. It is equal to 2.54×10−2 m/s2. Plural name is inches per (second squared).
