Newton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: N/m, or Npm): is a force in newton 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 Newton Per Linear Meters to Pounds Per Linear Feet
Example: How many pounds per linear feet are equivalent to 4.8 newton per linear meters?
As;
1 newton per linear meters = 0.068521781007303 pounds per linear feet
4.8 newton per linear meters = Y pounds per linear feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 4.8 times 0.068521781007303 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 4.8 * 0.068521781007303 / 1 = 0.32890454883505 pounds per linear feet
Answer is: 0.32890454883505 pounds per linear feet are equivalent to 4.8 newton per linear meters.
