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 21.06 tonnes per linear meters?
As;
1 tonnes per linear meters = 8896.4409787864 newton per linear meters
21.06 tonnes per linear meters = Y newton per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 21.06 times 8896.4409787864 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 21.06 * 8896.4409787864 / 1 = 187359.04701324 newton per linear meters
Answer is: 187359.04701324 newton per linear meters are equivalent to 21.06 tonnes per linear meters.
