Striated muscle work
Would a muscle that is long and thin (ie: more series elements than parallel elements) or a muscle that is short and thick (ie: more parallel elements than series) be able to lift an object that has more mass? Why?
This solution describes the striations seen in muscles. With different striation patterns there is a difference in the amount of work that can be done. This solution also suggests some further reading in case you would like to expand the discussion of this problem.
