The weight of an African elephant is typically measured in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs), as with any other animal or object. African elephants are the larger of the two species of elephants, with males weighing significantly more than females. The weight of an African elephant can vary, but on average, male African elephants (Loxodonta africana) can weigh between 5,000 to 14,000 pounds (2,268 to 6,350 kilograms). Female African elephants are generally smaller, with an average weight ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 pounds (1,814 to 4,536 kilograms). These are rough estimates, and individual elephants may fall outside these ranges. It's important to note that elephants can continue to grow throughout their lives, and the weight can also be influenced by factors

The Humane Society has asked for our help again this week. Currently they are charging $50 for an adoption fee. Unfortunately they just pulled this number out of the air and do not know why they are charging this amount. They would like to charge an amount that covers all the adoption costs – both the variable costs for adoptions as well as the fixed cost for the kennel portion of the Humane Shelter operations. We can help them by doing a breakeven analysis. During a client meeting we gathered these facts. There are 2 part-time employees that each earn $1000 per month. The utilities for the kennel area (water, electricity) are $200 per month. The average food cost for animals in the kennel is $800 per month. In addition, each animal that is adopted receives a rabies vaccination that costs $4 and is micro-chipped that costs $6. At the current cost of $50, how many animals must be adopted to break-even? What would break-even be at a $60 adoption fee? What would break-even be if the fee were lowered to $40? The newspaper has suggested that the Humane Society advertise to increase pet adoptions. The package that they have recommended costs $1000 for a very small ad run every day for a month. If the Humane Society does this extra advertising, how will it affect breakeven? Based on what you have learned about elasticity, what price do you recommend for the adoption fee?

A nondegenerate ideal gas of diatomic molecules with a kilomolar mass of 2 kg/kmol and a characteristic rotational temperature of 86 K is adsorbed on the walls of a container, where the binding energy is 0.02 eV. The adsorbed molecules move freely on the walls, and their rotation is confined to the plane of the walls. Calculate the surface density of adsorbed molecules at 12 K if the gas pressure is 103 Pa! What result would you get at 68 K and the same pressure?
