G Force
Summary of G Force
The product of the acceleration of mass times the force of gravity, measured as 32 feet per second. For example, if 10 Gs of force were exerted on a five-ton load, the resultant G force would be 50 tons.
The effects of G forces exerted upon a vessel in heavy weather may be a significant factor in ship stability.
