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 11.71 tonnes per linear meters?
As;
1 tonnes per linear meters = 8896.4409787864 newton per linear meters
11.71 tonnes per linear meters = Y newton per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 11.71 times 8896.4409787864 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 11.71 * 8896.4409787864 / 1 = 104177.32386159 newton per linear meters
Answer is: 104177.32386159 newton per linear meters are equivalent to 11.71 tonnes per linear meters.
