Kilonewton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: kN/m, or kNpm): is a force in kilonewton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
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 Kilonewtons Per Linear Meters to Pounds Per Linear Feet
Example: How many pounds per linear feet are equivalent to 61.67 Kilonewtons per linear meters?
As;
1 Kilonewtons per linear meters = 68.521781007303 pounds per linear feet
61.67 Kilonewtons per linear meters = Y pounds per linear feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 61.67 times 68.521781007303 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 61.67 * 68.521781007303 / 1 = 4225.7382347204 pounds per linear feet
Answer is: 4225.7382347204 pounds per linear feet are equivalent to 61.67 Kilonewtons per linear meters.
