- 1). Find Newton's second law of motion. Newton's second law can be expressed as F=ma, where "F" stands for force, "m" for mass and "a" for acceleration.
- 2). Weigh the object that is traveling at 100Gs. To illustrate, assume an object that weighs 100 kilograms is propelling.
- 3). Find the acceleration equivalent to 100G. If you are on the planet Earth, simply multiply 9.8 meters per second squared by 100, which equals 980 meters per second squared. However, if you were on the moon, which has a gravitational pull of 1.6 meters per second squared, 100Gs would be 160 meters per second squared.
- 4). Multiply the mass of the object by its acceleration. Following the example, multiply the mass of the object by the acceleration: 100 kilograms x 980 meters per second, which equals 98,000 Newtons; 98,000 Newtons is approximately the force generated by 10 tons falling on your head.
