Kilopound Per Linear Foot (abbreviation: kips/ft): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear foot.
Newton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: N/m, or Npm): is a force in newton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Linear Feet to Newton Per Linear Meters
Example: How many newton per linear meters are equivalent to 46.75 kilopounds per linear feet?
As;
1 kilopounds per linear feet = 14593.899243416 newton per linear meters
46.75 kilopounds per linear feet = Y newton per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 46.75 times 14593.899243416 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 46.75 * 14593.899243416 / 1 = 682264.7896297 newton per linear meters
Answer is: 682264.7896297 newton per linear meters are equivalent to 46.75 kilopounds per linear feet.
