Worsted Count Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Worsted Count = 12.5*Length in yards/Weight in grains
N_wc = 12.5*L_yards/W_Grains
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Worsted Count - (Measured in Meter per Kilogram) - Worsted Count is the number of hanks ( skeins) having the length of 560 yards in one pound of yarn is called worsted count. The fineness of yarn increases when yarn count increases in this system.
Length in yards - (Measured in Meter) - Length in yards is a measure of distance. In the International System of Quantities, length is a quantity with dimension distance.
Weight in grains - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight in grains is unit of weight equal to 0.065 gram, or 1/7,000 pound avoirdupois.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length in yards: 40 Yard --> 36.5759999999233 Meter (Check conversion here)
Weight in grains: 400 Grain --> 0.0259195639999016 Kilogram (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N_wc = 12.5*L_yards/W_Grains --> 12.5*36.5759999999233/0.0259195639999016

Evaluating ... ...

N_wc = 17639.185597442

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17639.185597442 Meter per Kilogram -->1.25 Yard per Grain (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.25 Yard per Grain <-- Worsted Count

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
