Foot per Square Second

ft/s²

Definition

The foot per square second (ft/s²) is a unit of acceleration, representing the rate of change of velocity per unit time in feet. It is equal to 0.3048 meters per square second.

History/Origin

Derived from the foot, an imperial unit of length, and the second. It is commonly used in engineering, construction, and other applications where imperial units are preferred.

Current Use

Widely used in engineering, construction, and other applications where accelerations are measured using imperial units, particularly in the United States.
