Mom pointed out that it's best to do this explicitly.

my \calibcant\ package for performing this calibration automatically.
We know the energy of the cantilever's thermal vibration from the
equipartion theorem (\cref{eq:equipart,sec:cantilever-calib:intro}).
-Solving the equipartition theorem for $\kappa$ yields
+Solving the equipartition theorem for the spring contant $\kappa$
+yields
\begin{equation}
\kappa = \frac{k_BT}{\avg{x^2}} \;, \label{eq:equipart_k}
