Im trying to figure out the weight of something from kg/meter and need to put it into lb/ft.

Question

The product weighs 0.5kg/m and the overall length is 4.57 meters. I need to put that into lbs/ft. Does that make sense??

Answer 1

Convert kg to lbs and convert m to ft.

0.5 kg x 1000 g/kg x 1 lb/454 g = 1.10 lbs

4.57 m x 3.28 ft/m = 14.99 ft

Expressed as lbs/ft you have 1.10 lbs/14.99 ft = 0.07 lb/ft
