Kilonewton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: kN/m, or kNpm): is a force in kilonewton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
Kilopound Per Linear Foot (abbreviation: kips/ft): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear foot.
How to Convert Kilonewtons Per Linear Meters to Kilopounds Per Linear Feet
Example: How many kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 2.14 Kilonewtons per linear meters?
As;
1 Kilonewtons per linear meters = 0.0685217832 kilopounds per linear feet
2.14 Kilonewtons per linear meters = Y kilopounds per linear feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 2.14 times 0.0685217832 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 2.14 * 0.0685217832 / 1 = 0.146636616048 kilopounds per linear feet
Answer is: 0.146636616048 kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 2.14 Kilonewtons per linear meters.
