Subject: RE: BS: Gravity, meters and physics made easy
Alternatively, you could leave the metre alone and redefine the second to give the acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s/s.
Anyway, it would only give a nice round number in the SI system. With different units, 10 metres per second squared could be thought of as 72731853972.7989 furlongs per fortnight per fortnight.
