Question

Ligaments are like rubber bands in that they possess elastic qualities. When they are stretched

slowly, the restoring force is equal to the applied force, so it can be assumed that the process is

reversible. You can also assume upon stretching the only work done is dw = fdl. Use the 1st Law

and the definition of Helmholtz free energy to show how free energy relates to force (f)
