A rare neuromuscular disease affects the spacing of myosin filaments in skeletal muscle. If the distance between actin and myosin filaments remains the same the distance but adjacent myosin filaments is increased to 75nm, calculate the maximum stress in the muscles of afflicted individuals. Express your answer in N/cm2 .

Answer The maximum stress (?) in the muscles of individuals with this neuromuscular disease is 13.6 N/cm2.
