Question

Twist (turns per inch) of a cotton yarn of 36 Ne count produced with a twist multiplier of 3.5 inch\(^{-1}\).Ne\(^{-0.5}\) is \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\).

Hint:

The twist multiplier provides the relationship between the yarn count and the number of turns per unit length.

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 21

The twist of a cotton yarn can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Twist} = \text{Twist Multiplier} \times \sqrt{\text{Ne count}}. \] Given: \[ \text{Twist Multiplier} = 3.5 \, \text{inch}^{-1}.\text{Ne}^{-0.5}, \text{Ne count} = 36. \] Substitute the values: \[ \text{Twist} = 3.5 \times \sqrt{36} = 3.5 \times 6 = 21. \] Thus, the twist is \( 21 \) turns per inch.
