Suppose that the weight of a type of organism is governed by a power law relationship with its length from snout to tail and the thickness of its central vertebrae W = cLpVq. One specimen weighed 37 kg with a length of 1.6 m and vertebral thickness 1 cm. A second specimen weighed 45 kg with a length of 1.6 m and vertebral thickness 1.3 cm. A third specimen weighed 56 kg with a length of 3.1 m and vertebral thickness 1.2 cm. Write an equation with the correct coefficient and parameters values.
