In my opinion, it is better to convert the unit which is in
distance to match with meters or feet. Memorize
acceleration due to gravity in meters and feet,
and work from there to convert unfamiliar units
to familiar ones. The height of the body doesn't
effect the acceleration due to gravity unless
air resistance is figured in and the height of the
body contributes to surface area.

acceleration due to gravity
meters: 9.8 m/s^2
feet: 32 ft/s^2

centimeters are easier to convert to meters.
9.8 m/s^2

100 cm= 1 m

100/1 = x/9.8
x=100 * 9.8
=980 cm

centimeters: 980 cm/s^2

The value of g is not dependent on the height of the body. The units of g are: ft/sec^2, cm/sec^2 or m/sec^2

g, acceleration due to earth's gravity, in meters is 9.8 m/s^2

to convert to cm:
9.8 m/s^2 (100 cm/1 m) = 980 cm/s^2

to convert to ft:
9.8 m/s^2 (3.280839 feet/ 1 m) =
= 32.15223 feet/s^2
