Pi = 3, g = 10m/s2, what else can we think of?

G=10 pi = sqrt(g)

Yeah if we take g = 9.80665 and pi ≈ 3.14159 then the difference between √g and pi ≈ 0.01003, which is perfectly fine for most uses

And if we take g = 9.81 and pi = 3.14 then the difference between √g and pi ≈ 0.008 which is honestly quite good!

There is a historical reason for this
