The amount of skin covering a person's body (in square feet) depends on the person's height and weight. One model for estimating this skin surface area is
A(w, h) = 0.6416w0.425h0.725 square feet
for a person weighing w pounds who is h feet
tall. If a person 5 feet 7 inches tall who weighs 145 pounds grows
3 inches in height, by approximately how much must this person's
weight change if the skin surface area is to remain the same?
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)

For many drugs, it is important to adjust the dose for individual patients. A patient's body weight or body surface area (BSA) is sometimes used for estimating drug dosages for children and for estimating the starting dosage for chemotherapy for cancer patients. BSA is difficult to measure directly, but it may be calculated by the following formula based on height and weight. BSA = 71.84W0.425H0.725, where BSA is measured in square centimeters, W is weight in kilograms, and H is...

In the United States, overweight and obesity are widespread nutritional problems that have reached epidemic proportions. An overweight person has extra body weight that is contributed by bone, muscle, body fat, and/or body water. Obesity, however, is a condition characterized by excessive and unhealthy amounts of body fat. Some body fat is essential for good health, but people who are overweight or obese ("overfat") have a greater risk for serious, chronic health conditions and diseases To determine whether a person's...

Materials fracture when the force per unit area, called STRESS, exceeds a critical value. In general, the critical stress depends on the direction as well as the magnitude of the force. For example, bones break differently when subjected to torsional (twisting) stress than when subjected to compressional (or squeezing) stress. Let us consider compressional stress. Wet human bone for 20-39 year olds has an ultimate compressive strength of 1.6x104N/cm2 [8]. Consider a person who falls from a height to the...
