    Calculating drop test height from a g-shock value

    The probem I have is not as simple. My object costs $30k, and is 170 lbs ! I have to be quite close to the number before I subject this to a shock test, which is 30g for 10 ms.. That's why I needed some way to determine the drop height as an equivalent.

    Calculating drop test height from a g-shock value

    rb1957 I am still confused about the value of 160 ft/s^2 for "50g". If we are using ft/s^2, g=32, so how does 50g become 160ft/s^2 ? tia. Ekonkaar.
