dcterms:description The \(\textit{Galileo}\) is the unit of acceleration of free fall used extensively in the science of gravimetry. The Galileo is defined as \(1 \textit{centimeter per square second}\) (\(1 cm/s^2\)). Unfortunately, the Galileo is often denoted with the symbol Gal, not to be confused with the Gallon that also uses the same symbol.
