A muscle with a radius of 3 cm exerts about 20 N cm-2 of force at zero velocity. W hich of the following afterloads would cause an eccentric contraction? Use g = 9.81 m s-2. Assume the muscle is a right circular cylinder with a pennation angle of 0o.
A) Lasts 5 ms or less in humans B) Is involuntary C) Takes less time in slow twitch muscles D) Is the contraction resulting from a single action potential on each of a set of muscle fibers E) Lasts longer in fast twitch muscles
