The actual mechanical advantage of the tricep-forearm system is 0.11. Are you surprised by the calculated result of the actual mechanical advantage? Why or why not? Explain your reasoning.
Added by Cristina S.
Step 1
11. - An AMA of 0.11 means the output force (on the forearm) is only 0.11 times the input force (from the triceps muscle); the system provides less force than the muscle input. Show more…

14) How does ratio relate to mechanical advantage/disadvantage? 15) How does velocity relate to mechanical advantage/disadvantage? Task 3: Biomechanical Levers 1. Does the bicep muscle work at a mechanical advantage or disadvantage? Use the space below to draw a diagram and explain. 2. Does the gastrocnemius (calf) muscle work at a mechanical advantage or disadvantage? Use the space below to draw a diagram and explain. 3. Use the concept explained in #1-2 to briefly describe the biomechanics of a digger vs a runner.
