(See Solution) Consider the parametric curve given by r(t)=(a cos f(t), a sin f(t), b f(t)-b) where a, b>0 and f is some differentiable function: [0,1]
Question: (4 points) Consider the parametric curve given by
\[\mathbf{r}(t)=(a \cos f(t), a \sin f(t), b f(t)-b)\]where \(a, b>0\) and \(f\) is some differentiable function: \([0,1] \rightarrow[0,1]\) with \(f(0)=1, f(1)=0\) and \(f^{\prime}(t)<0\)
- Find $s(t)=$ the arc length of the curve segment in the interval $[0, t]$, and re-parametrize the curve in terms of \(s:=\operatorname{arc}\) length from the point corresponding to \(t=0\).
-
Compute the curvature and determine both parametric and nonparametric equations
for the osculating plane at any given point, all in terms of \(s\). - Show that at all points of the curve the tangent lines form the same angle with the \(z\) -axis. Determine that angle. Do the same with the normal lines, i.e. the lines that pass through the points and whose direction is the direction of the normal vector.
