Chapter 10: Problem 37

Find the curvature and radius of curvature of the plane curve at the given value of \(x\). $$ y=3 x-2, \quad x=a $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The curvature is \(0\) and the radius of curvature is not defined for \(x=a\).

Step by step solution

01

Find the first derivative

The first derivative of a function \(f(x)\) is given by \(f'(x)\). For the function \(y = 3x - 2\), the first derivative \(y' = 3\).
02

Find the second derivative

The second derivative of a function \(f(x)\) is given by \(f''(x)\). For the first derivative \(y' = 3\), the second derivative \(y'' = 0\).
03

Calculate the curvature

Using the formula for curvature \(k = \left|y''\right| / (1 + (y')^2)^{3/2}\), where \(y' = 3\) and \(y'' = 0\), the curvature \(k = \left|0\right| / (1 + 3^2)^{3/2} = 0\).
04

Calculate the radius of curvature

The radius of curvature is the reciprocal of the curvature i.e. \(r = 1 / k\). Therefore, when \(k = 0\), the curvature is not defined.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Consider the motion of a point (or particle) on the circumference of a rolling circle. As the circle rolls, it generates the cycloid \(\mathbf{r}(t)=b(\omega t-\sin \omega t) \mathbf{i}+b(1-\cos \omega t) \mathbf{j}\) where \(\omega\) is the constant angular velocity of the circle and \(b\) is the radius of the circle. Find the velocity and acceleration vectors of the particle. Use the results to determine the times at which the speed of the particle will be (a) zero and (b) maximized.

Use the model for projectile motion, assuming there is no air resistance. A bale ejector consists of two variable-speed belts at the end of a baler. Its purpose is to toss bales into a trailing wagon. In loading the back of a wagon, a bale must be thrown to a position 8 feet above and 16 feet behind the ejector. (a) Find the minimum initial speed of the bale and the corresponding angle at which it must be ejected from the baler. (b) The ejector has a fixed angle of \(45^{\circ} .\) Find the initial speed required for a bale to reach its target.

Find \((a) r^{\prime \prime}(t)\) and \((b) r^{\prime}(t) \cdot r^{\prime \prime}(t)\). $$ \mathbf{r}(t)=\frac{1}{2} t^{2} \mathbf{i}-t \mathbf{j}+\frac{1}{6} t^{3} \mathbf{k} $$

Find the open interval(s) on which the curve given by the vector-valued function is smooth. $$ \mathbf{r}(\theta)=(\theta+\sin \theta) \mathbf{i}+(1-\cos \theta) \mathbf{j} $$

True or False? Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false. $$ \text { The acceleration of an object is the derivative of the speed. } $$
