Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (meter per second squared (m/s²)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 pm/s² = 1 × 10⁻¹² meter per second squared (m/s²)
Step-by-step substitution for Standard Gravity → Picometer/second²:V(pm/s²) = V(g) × ( 9.80665 / 1 × 10⁻¹² ) = V(g) × 9.80665 × 10¹²
