Kilonewton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: kN/m, or kNpm): is a force in kilonewton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
Tonne Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: t/m, or tpm): is a force in tonne applied over a unit length in linear meter.
How to Convert Kilonewtons Per Linear Meters to Tonnes Per Linear Meters
Example: How many tonnes per linear meters are equivalent to 8.82 Kilonewtons per linear meters?
As;
1 Kilonewtons per linear meters = 0.1124045 tonnes per linear meters
8.82 Kilonewtons per linear meters = Y tonnes per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 8.82 times 0.1124045 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 8.82 * 0.1124045 / 1 = 0.99140769 tonnes per linear meters
Answer is: 0.99140769 tonnes per linear meters are equivalent to 8.82 Kilonewtons per linear meters.
