Kilopound Per Linear Inch (abbreviation: kips/in): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
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 Inches to Newton Per Linear Meters
Example: How many newton per linear meters are equivalent to 1.74 kilopounds per linear inches?
As;
1 kilopounds per linear inches = 175126.79092099 newton per linear meters
1.74 kilopounds per linear inches = Y newton per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 1.74 times 175126.79092099 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 1.74 * 175126.79092099 / 1 = 304720.61620253 newton per linear meters
Answer is: 304720.61620253 newton per linear meters are equivalent to 1.74 kilopounds per linear inches.
