The length-tension relationships represent an important part in the function of skeletal muscle. When skeletal muscle is stimulated‚ passive tissue rapidly changes into dynamic tissue which can produce force. Furthermore‚ during this process‚ the length of muscle may decrease‚ increase‚ or remain the same. Moreover‚ the amount of power a muscle can produce depends on its length‚ velocity and stimulation Powers & Howley (2015). Muscle velocity and stimulation are normally in a constant when creating

rise) Synopsis This project report explains about the surface tension and capillarity of liquid through a simple experiment of finding the capillarity of various detergents. Oil stains and grease on dirty clothes cannot be removed‚ using water alone‚ because water does not wet them. If detergents added ‚ surface tension is decreased‚ the area of contact is increased. Detergent molecules have the shape of a hairpin‚ one of which is attracted

Account for social tensions in US society from 1919 – 1941. Social tensions among US society from 1919-1941 came about due to immigration restrictions‚ racial conflict‚ and anti-communism.

Many lifters‚ trainers‚ and coaches believe that "muscles only know tension." This view is overly simplistic. In reality‚ a number of factors must be taken into account. What degree of tension? What duration of tension? What frequency of tension? What kind of tension? Certainly passive tension isn’t as effective as active tension in packing on lean mass. Many believe that the continuous quest for increased maximal strength is the key to developing massive muscles. But while increased strength is

While both suffered major casualties‚ none of which compared to those in Europe or Japan‚ they still retained the facilities to establish a new world order and fill the void of such power vacuum. However‚ tensions ensued due to the conflicting nature of their perspectives on the new world order‚ which were backed by their own national interest. The US desired to cultivate a free world that was founded on the principles of capitalism with hopes that it would

Material testing I. Topic: Tension testing 2.What is tension test? Tension test is a fundamental material science test in which a sample is subjected to uniaxial tension until failure. The results from the test are commonly used to select a material for an application‚ for quality control‚ and to predict how a material will react under other types of forces. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength‚ maximum elongation and reduction in area. From
