Start by converting the length to meters using this page:

https://www.convertunits.com/from/1400+yards/to/meters

1400 yards of fabric = 1280.16 meters

Next convert the width from inches to meters:

https://www.convertunits.com/from/60%22/to/meters

60" width = 1.524 meters

Now you can multiply the two numbers to get the total area of fabric:

1280.16 x 1.524 = 1950.96384 square meters

You said the fabric has 140 grams per square meter, so that means the total weight is:

140 g/(m^2) x 1950.96384 m^2 = 273,135 g

Or if you convert to kilograms, you have a total weight of 273.1kg in fabric.
