How to Convert Pounds Per Linear Feet to Pounds Per Linear Inches
Example: How many pounds per linear inches are equivalent to 40.9 pounds per linear feet?
As;
1 pounds per linear feet = 0.083333333333333 pounds per linear inches
40.9 pounds per linear feet = Y pounds per linear inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 40.9 times 0.083333333333333 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 40.9 * 0.083333333333333 / 1 = 3.4083333333333 pounds per linear inches
Answer is: 3.4083333333333 pounds per linear inches are equivalent to 40.9 pounds per linear feet.
