 Median rupture force under a linear ramp

Solving $p(F_{1/2})=1/2$ for survival under a linear force ramp gives the displayed expression. At large $f/(k_0{F}_0)$, its slope against $\log f$ approaches $F_0$; at low loading rate the median is approximately $f\log 2/k_0$. A full fit can infer activation distance $k_{B}T/F_0$ and zero-force escape rate $k_0$. An absolute barrier additionally needs an attempt prefactor, and equilibrium binding strength additionally needs reverse-state information.
