Muscles can only contract, so they occur in pairs. In the arm, the biceps muscle is a flexor-that is, it
closes the limb. The triceps muscle is an extensor that opens the limb. This configuration is typical of
skeletal muscles, bones, and joints in humans and other vertebrates. Most skeletal muscles exert
much larger forces within the body than the limbs apply to the outside world. Imagine that a person
is pushing down on a tabletop with their hand as shown in the figure. If the person applies a
downward force of 70 N with their hand (thats about 16 lbs of force) what force does the triceps
tendon exert on the lower arm? The unknown force is indicated by the red arrow in the figure. Ignore
the weight of the arm in your calculation.

- The left end of a spring is attached to a wall. When Bob pulls on the right end with a 200N force, he stretches the spring by 20 cm. The same spring is then used for a tug of war between Bob and Carlos. Each pulls on his end of the spring with a 200N force. How far does the spring stretch.

This ligament is much more elastic than a typical ligament, stretching from 15% to 45% longer than its resting length as a horse’s head moves up and down while it runs. This stretch of the ligament stores energy, making locomotion more efficient. Measurements on a segment of ligament show a linear stress-versusstrain relationship until the stress approaches 0.80.
