...contraction. Law III. W/ten the same muscle (or group of muscles) is kept in constant action until fatigue sets in, the total work done, multiplied by the rate of work, is constant. The "proof" of Law II. consists of a discussion of some experiments of Prof. Stanley Jevons, in which it...

...enunciates thus: — When the same muscle (or group of muscles) is kept in constant action until fatigue sets in, the total work done, multiplied by the rate of work, is constant. He has also stated as laws the following propositions: — I. In comparing together different muscles,...

...contraction. " Law III. When the same muscle (or group of muscles) is kept in constant action until fatigue sets in, the total work done, multiplied by the rate of work, is constant." Law I he calls Borelli's law, as it corresponds to his 121st, 122nd, and 123rd propositions, but Borelli,...

...thus stated : — When the same muscle (or group of muscles) is kept in constant action until fatigue sets in, the total work done, multiplied by the rate of work, is constant. Thus, if W denote the total work done, and T denote the time of doing it, the rate of work will be...

...which is, that when the same muscle (or group of muscles) is kept in constant action until fatigue sets in, the total work done, multiplied by the rate of work, is constant ; so that if a man become fatigued after walking thirty miles at the usual rate, if he walk twice as...

...law of fatigue: When the same muscle, or group of muscles, is kept in constant action until fatigue sets in, the total work done, multiplied by the rate of work, is constant. Suppose a man, walking at his ordinary pace, does not become tired until he has gone thirty miles....

...p. 442) : — "When the same muscle (or group of muscles) is kept in constant action until fatigue sets in, the total work done, multiplied by the rate of work, is constant." By " rate of work " is meant the work per second. But in these experiments the muscles were not " kept...
