SUMMARY
The discussion confirms that an object with a constant acceleration of 293 m/s² exerts a G force of approximately 30 G's. This calculation is based on the standard gravitational acceleration, where 1 G equals 9.8 m/s². The equation used to determine G force is simply the acceleration divided by the acceleration due to gravity (G = acceleration / 9.8 m/s²). Therefore, 293 m/s² divided by 9.8 m/s² results in about 30 G's.
