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 63.02 Kilonewtons per linear meters?
As;
1 Kilonewtons per linear meters = 68.521781007303 pounds per linear feet
63.02 Kilonewtons per linear meters = Y pounds per linear feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 63.02 times 68.521781007303 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 63.02 * 68.521781007303 / 1 = 4318.2426390802 pounds per linear feet
Answer is: 4318.2426390802 pounds per linear feet are equivalent to 63.02 Kilonewtons per linear meters.
