Question:

The amount of heat generated during the contraction of muscle in an amphibian's leg is given by
Q = 0.544 mJ + (1.46 mJ/cm)Δx
Where Δ x is the length shortened. If a muscle of length 3.0 cm and mass 0.10 g is shortened by 1.5 cm during a contraction, what is the temperature rise? Assume that the specific heat of muscle is 4.186 J/(g∙°C).
