Relating myosin function and stoichiometry to weight lifting

When you go to the gym to work out, you not only exercise many muscles but also involve many myosins (and actins) in any given exercise activity. Suppose you lift a 10-kg weight a total distance of 0.4 m. Using the data in Table 16.2 for myosin, calculate the minimum number of myosin heads required to lift this weight and the number of sliding steps these myosins must make along their associated actin filaments.
