Rotational Force (Torque)

Limb rotation = muscle force X distance from joint. Muscles generate forces which when applied to the skeleton will generate rotation about a joint.

 

1) Name the different "gears" of muscles and which type a digger vs a runner would have.

2) Also describe the defining features of each type (d, T, strength, speed).

3) What would you do if you wanted to increase the strength of a muscle as applied to the above formula?
