W(h)=0.000534h^3

Express the threshold weight in poounds as a function of the height "h" in inches.

a) find W(70)
b) Find the threshold weight for a 6'2" middle age male.


ps: These questions are coming from a take home exam, which we are suppose to research these problems. These are what I have left, that I could no get.

What is the definition of "threshold weight"?
 
individual is the weight beyond which the risk of dealth increases significantly.

What does that have to do with the given equation [W(h)=0.000534h^3] ?

Could it be that the equation provides the threshold weight?
