How do you weigh an elephant without using a scale?
Our users give some suggestions:
- I would take an educated guess: Let's assume that the elephant has a similar chemical makeup to humans (70% of the body mass is water). Submerge the elephant in a tank of water to see how much water it displaces. Look up the mass-weight conversion for water. Multiply that by .70 and the volume displaced. The other 30% is presumeably organic material subject to the same laws of nature as we are. Research the mass constants for this material - bone, flesh, fat, and muscle. Use weighted coeficients available and referencing the species to estimate the weight of the remaining 30%.
- You could try constructing a primitive scale: Place a sturdy board over a fulcrum, so that it balances. Then put what you want to weigh on one end of the fulcrum and slowly add weight to the other side (use things you do know the weight of, or you'll end up back where you started). Once the board is balanced on the fulcrum again, you know that both sides equal roughly the same amount of weight (the weights' relative location on the board might cause some error, but not too much to worry about).
For an elephant, you'll need a board large enough to fit the elephant on one half of it, and sturdy enough to not warp or break under the weight. You'll also want a fulcrum large enough to span the width of the board, to increase stability. I'd recommend getting some friends who are comfortable with sharing their own weights to be the counterbalance, if that's not enough then find some heavy machinery that has its weight listed on it and try using that.

How many days would it take someone to drink 3 gallons of water?
It depends entirely on how much water the person drinks on the average day. It is impossible to tell how much water a person could drink in a single day unless you already knew the average rate at which they consume it per day.

Have water in trunk of 2000 eldorado?
Most of the water comes in from pinhole breaks around the weatherstripping and in the sheetmetal or from the wheel wells.
Here's a cost effect solution. Remove the spare tire (check and grease your bolts and hold downs for the tire because the moisture can do a job on those nuts and bolts). Better to find out the hold downs are rusted close now than when you need to change your flat.
There should be a metal drain plug on the bottom, towards the passenger compartment. Carefully remove that plug by prying up on the center band and prying around the sides. Drill several 1/4"holes in the plug, put some gasket seal around the edge and put it back in. Now the water will drain through that. Yes you'll still have water coming in but it will quickly find it's way to the bottom and out it goes.
The alternative is to sit in the trunk with a flashlight while someone sprays the car. Locate the areas where it might be leaking around the top and caulk them with a heavy duty silicone caulk. Problem is there are so many places that water could be entering the trunk, it's a crapshoot. I've had several Cadillac's and I was amazed at the number of gaps and body holes (not rust or damage) that existed around the wheel wells and around the frame. This little trick solved all my problems.
Note: Don't be drilling any holes in the trunk from above. Your gas tank sits nice and snug against it. If there is no plug on your model, drill from below.
