 Survival under a linear force ramp

For an initially intact link with no rebinding, survival probability obeys $dp/dt=-k(F)p$. A force-tilted activation barrier with force $F=ft$, constant $f>0$ and $p(0)=1$ integrates to the displayed law. The rupture-force probability density is $k(F)p(F)/f$, not $p(F)$ itself. The no-rebinding approximation requires separated partners to leave the capture region before appreciable reassociation; it is not guaranteed by the rate equation alone.
