Question 1198383: Calorie is the approximate amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1mL of water by 1°C. It is important for the maintenance of body energy. A rough estimate of calories C needed by an animal each day is calculated using the formula c=72m^3/4, where m is the animal's mass in kilograms. Calculate the amount of calories needed by a 25 kg dog.

Notice:
what people call "calorie" in Biology and Physiology,
actually are KILO-calories in the Physics context.
So, " calorie " in Biology and Physiology, is actually KILO-calorie in the physical sense.
Therefore, your referral to the meaning of the term " calorie " in Physics is INCORRECT.
It is important to know for everybody, especially for those,
who tries to create / (to compose) Math problems on their own,
but does not know the subject.

c=72m^3/4
m is the animal's mass in kilogram
m = 25kg
Plug and Play
c = 72(25kg)^3)/4

Speaking of useless units, there's BTUs. British Thermal Units.
The Brits are largely responsible for most, maybe all, of the "English" units, but I think they sobered up and moved to Metric.
They no longer go to the castle and measure the king's foot.

Some dumbass US politician said the US should not use metric, because North Korea uses it.
