A unipennate muscle has a cross-sectional area of 10 cm2 and another cross-sectional area of 11 cm2. The angle of pennation for both cross-sectional areas is 30°. This muscle can produce a maximal isometric contraction force of 500 N. What is the stress during the maximal isometric contraction?

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.

Part of a control linkage for an airplane consists of a rigid member cb and a flexible cable ab. if a force is applied to the end b of the member and causes it to rotate by θ = 0.5°, determine the normal strain in the cable. originally the cable is unstretched.
