Load (L) = 5 kgs
= Effort
E = Fulcrum
Weight of forearm = 1.8 kgs
L = Load
Biceps brachii
muscle
Distance of load from elbow joint = 35 cm
%3D
Effort (E) = contraction
of biceps brachii
Distance of center of mass of forearm from elbow = 17 cm
Distance of tendon from elbow = 4 cm
A) Draw the free-body diagram to represent the forces and moments
Load (L) = weight of
object plus forearm
B) Write the torque equation for static equilibrium
Fulcrum (F) = elbow joint
If the muscle fiber is stretched to 150% of muscle length and thentechnically stimulated, what would be the total force measured?
Hill's equation gives a relation between muscle contraction rates νν and muscle tension TT
(T+α)(ν+β)=(T0+α)β(T+α)(ν+β)=(T0+α)β
for positive parameters αα and ββ and resting tension T0T0. Rewrite the equation so that the contraction rate is a function of tension.
