When the hinge is in its open state, the attachment point is a distance δ to the right of its closed state relative to the body of the stereocilium. The trap door is a 2-state system with a free energy change ∆F0 to jump to its open state.


Hint
ScienceStereocilia are actin-based protrusions on auditory and vestibular sensory cells that are required for hearing and balance. They convert physical force from sound, head movement or gravity into an electrical signal, a process that is called mechanoelectrical transduction. Net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object. The net force can be calculated using Newton's second law, which...
