To convert the acceleration due to gravity from meters per second squared (m/s²) to feet per second squared (ft/s²), you can use the conversion factor that 1 meter is approximately equal to 3.28084 feet.
Given that the rate of acceleration due to gravity is approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), the conversion to feet per second squared is done as follows:
\[
9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \times 3.28084 \, \text{ft/m} \approx 32.15 \, \text{ft/s}^2
\]
So, the acceleration due to gravity in feet per second squared is approximately \( 32.15 \, \text{ft/s}^2 \).
