Pound Per Linear Foot (abbreviations: lb/ft, or ppf): is a force in pounds applied over a unit length in linear foot.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Linear Feet to Pounds Per Linear Feet
Example: How many pounds per linear feet are equivalent to 24.83 kilopounds per linear feet?
As;
1 kilopounds per linear feet = 1000 pounds per linear feet
24.83 kilopounds per linear feet = Y pounds per linear feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 24.83 times 1000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 24.83 * 1000 / 1 = 24830 pounds per linear feet
Answer is: 24830 pounds per linear feet are equivalent to 24.83 kilopounds per linear feet.
