Is there a simple theory for this in terms of mechanics?
I'm not quite sure how to frame this. I guess you could look at it as a piston being held up by a pressurized chamber that has a constantly open release valve on it, but also an input valve that you have to keep supplying (to equal the release valves volume exhausted).
Do I have to go to the biology subforum now to find out if the bond holding my muscles together has to be supplied with energy (ATP, I presume) or the bonds would break and my arms would drop, much like if we stopped supplying the the pressurized chamber above?
