Newton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: N/m, or Npm): is a force in newton 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 Newton Per Linear Meters to Kilopounds Per Linear Feet
Example: How many kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 3.88 newton per linear meters?
As;
1 newton per linear meters = 6.85217832E-5 kilopounds per linear feet
3.88 newton per linear meters = Y kilopounds per linear feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 3.88 times 6.85217832E-5 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 3.88 * 6.85217832E-5 / 1 = 0.000265864518816 kilopounds per linear feet
Answer is: 0.000265864518816 kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 3.88 newton per linear meters.
