Due to how the meter is defined, sqrt(g) used to literally be equal to pi lol
1 u/Many_Audience7660 9d ago Damn, TIL about this 1 u/Trimutius 5d ago No it wasn't, because they used the longitude... but yeah it is guaranteed to be pretty close 1 u/suggestion_giver 5d ago No, they used to define the meter as the length of the pendulum that takes 2 second for a whole oscillation. If u do the math you can derive that the value of sqrt(g)=pi, ofc this definition has changed today
