A relaxed biceps muscle requires a force of 25.0N for an elongation of 3.0 cm; under maximum tension, the same muscle requires a force 500N
Question
A relaxed biceps muscle requires a force of 25.0N for an elongation of 3.0 cm; under maximum tension, the same muscle requires a force 500N for the same elongation. Find the Young’s modulus for the muscle tissue under each of these conditions if the muscle can be modeled as a uniform cylinder with an initial length of 0.200 m and a cross-sectional area of 50 cm^2.

3.3 x10^4N/m²
6.7 x105N/m²
Explanation:
Let the young modulus of the relaxed biceps be
Y= F¹Lo/ deta L1 x A
= 25 x0.2/ 0.03* 50cm²(1m²
0.0004cm^-²)
= 3.3×10^4N/m²
But young modules of muscle under maximum tension will be
Y= F”Lo/ deta L” x A
= 500x 0.2/ 0.03* 50cm²(1m²
0.0004cm^-²)
= 6.7 x10^5N/m²
