Tonne Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: t/m, or tpm): is a force in tonne 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 Tonnes Per Linear Meters to Kilonewtons Per Linear Meters
Example: How many Kilonewtons per linear meters are equivalent to 12.53 tonnes per linear meters?
As;
1 tonnes per linear meters = 8.8964409787864 Kilonewtons per linear meters
12.53 tonnes per linear meters = Y Kilonewtons per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 12.53 times 8.8964409787864 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 12.53 * 8.8964409787864 / 1 = 111.47240546419 Kilonewtons per linear meters
Answer is: 111.47240546419 Kilonewtons per linear meters are equivalent to 12.53 tonnes per linear meters.
