Problem 1(15 points): Consider an idealized muscle.
1.1)[6 points] Express the force in the muscle when activated as a linear relationship between force \( F \) and active muscle length \( l \)- that is,\( F=m \cdot l+b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y intercept. What are \( m \) and \( b \)?
1.2)[3 points] Sketch the force-length relationship from part (1.2), marking \( l_{c}\) on the x axis and \( c \) on the \( y \) axis.
1.3)[3 points] In reality, the force-length equation above is limited only for a small range of extension ratios. What are the practical limits to this linear relationship? (That is, why does the full force-length curve look like the figure below?)
1.4)[3 points] Estimate \( c \) from the graph below.
