(A) Predicted shapes of the chrMT bundles for the hinge connection at the centrosome as functions of the force in the range of 25–60 pN per bundle. (B), (C) Predicted shapes of the chrMT bundles clamped at the centrosome at angles α = π/8, π/6, π/5, π/4, π/3 at forces 20 (B) and 90 (C) pN per bundle. Distances are shown in units of 10 µm; forces are in units of 10 pN.
