Calculation of Curvature - Examples
Calculation of curvature is given using the formula
(1) where
for a curve expressed in cartesian coordinates
and
(2) for a curve given in parametric coordinates
Example:Find the curvature of
Use (1).
Now use
to obtain
Sub into (1).
Example:Find the curvature of
Use (1).
.
Sub into (1).
Example:Find the curvature of the curve given by the parametric coordinates
Use (2).
Sub into (2).
