Tonne Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: t/m, or tpm): is a force in tonne applied over a unit length in linear meter.
Newton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: N/m, or Npm): is a force in newton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
How to Convert Tonnes Per Linear Meters to Newton Per Linear Meters
Example: How many newton per linear meters are equivalent to 2.01 tonnes per linear meters?
As;
1 tonnes per linear meters = 8896.4409787864 newton per linear meters
2.01 tonnes per linear meters = Y newton per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 2.01 times 8896.4409787864 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 2.01 * 8896.4409787864 / 1 = 17881.846367361 newton per linear meters
Answer is: 17881.846367361 newton per linear meters are equivalent to 2.01 tonnes per linear meters.
