Formula for linear meter

Answer 1

Its simple but you need the width of the material you are going to be working with.

LINEAR METRES (LM) = AREA OF SPACE / WIDTH OF MATERIAL REQUIRED(W)

For example:

I have a room 6 x 5 metres so the Area = 30 m2

I want to lay timber floorboard planks and their WIDTH per floorboard plank is 0.25 metres.

LM=A/W = 30/0.25 = 120

Therefore I will need 120 linear metres of the 0.25mtr wide planks.

Answer 2

The formula for calculating linear meters is Length x Width x Height for a rectangular object, and Circumference x Height for a cylindrical object. Linear meters are used to measure the length of an object in one dimension.

Answer 3

Meters and linear meters are the same measurement - the word linear is used to distinguish between that and a square meter - which is a unit of area.

A note about English spelling

In North American English - which is the version of the English language used as standard here on Answers.com - meter is the spelling for the SI unit for length, and meter is also the spelling for a measuring device.

However in British English, metre is the spelling for the SI unit for length, whereas meter is the spelling for a measuring device. The units' names are in fact FRENCH words, so "Metre" is correct French.

For example, "An energy meter is located three metres from ground level."

Answer 4

The question cannot be answered for two reasons:

1. Different materials have different densities and, therefore, the same quantity of two materials will have different masses. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on a mass.
2. A linear metre is a measure of length while weight is a measure of force. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.

Answer 5

A metre and a linear metre are the same unit of measurement - the word "linear" is used merely to distinguish it from a square or cubic metre, of two or three dimensions.

Answer 6

Normally you would measure it, rather than calculate it. It is simply a length equivalent to 100 centimetres.

Answer 7

1 metre = 1 linear metre.

Answer 8

One.

Answer 9

1

Answer 10

5 meter
