Newton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: N/m, or Npm): is a force in newton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
Kilonewton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: kN/m, or kNpm): is a force in kilonewton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
How to Convert Newton Per Linear Meters to Kilonewtons Per Linear Meters
Example: How many Kilonewtons per linear meters are equivalent to 0.66 newton per linear meters?
As;
1 newton per linear meters = 0.001 Kilonewtons per linear meters
0.66 newton per linear meters = Y Kilonewtons per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 0.66 times 0.001 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 0.66 * 0.001 / 1 = 0.00066 Kilonewtons per linear meters
Answer is: 0.00066 Kilonewtons per linear meters are equivalent to 0.66 newton per linear meters.
