(a) The motor system is connected with its environment via a spring Ks. (b) Position X versus time t for different motor systems with km = 1.5 pN/nm (vc < 0), km = 3.0 pN/nm (vc = 0), and km = 80 pN/nm (vc>0), respectively, where Δz/b = 0.1 and ks = 0.5 pN/nm. The other parameters are the same as those in Fig. 2.
