Exercise 15
What must be the effective minimal cross-sectional areas of the muscles in Problems 5 and 6, given an estimated 90 N of force-producing capacity per square centimeter of muscle cross-sectional area?
Problems 5
If the fibers of a pennate muscle are oriented at a 45° angle to a central tendon, how much tension is produced in the tendon when the muscle fibers contract with 150 N of force?
Problems 6
How much force must be produced by the fibers of a pennate muscle aligned at a 60° angle to a central tendon to create a tensile force of 200 N in the tendon?
