In our dimensionless model of muscle and tendon, we have scaled the cross sectional area of tendon by peak muscle force. This essentially assumes that the ratio of muscle cross-sectional area to tendon cross sectional area is constant among various muscles. Find the ratio. Do you think this is a reasonable assumption? State why or why not.
