Mar 21, 2012 · My class just started arc length yesterday, and i'm trying to do a few homework questions. I'm stuck on this one: 1. Use the arc length formula to find the length of the curve …

Jan 26, 2017 · Thanks for your response mathman. Not the arc length, but the flattened length. I may not be using proper terminology, so I apologize. If you could visualize physically holding …

Sep 15, 2013 · The arc length is easily expressed as an integral, which can then be related to the standard definitions of special functions. I didn't go down that road before, as this isn't a …

May 3, 2025 · Now that we have ALL the facts, we can tell you that s = r θ where s is arc length, r is radius and θ is the angle in radians. Given all this, you can now finish the problem and find …

Oct 2, 2013 · Since an understanding of Calculus is essential to understanding how "arc length" for a general arc is defined much less how it is calculated, I don't see how anyone can give an …

Jan 9, 2025 · The arc of length 16.75 has a radius of approximately 20.51020408. The arc of length 14.3 has a radius of 3 less or approximately 17.51020408. So the mean radius is …

Nov 26, 2023 · You are to use the arc length formula and compare that to the arc that you can easily calculate from the circle. It seems like you are missing the entire point of the problem …

Jan 20, 2013 · Given the arc length s along the curve y from the origin, can we determine the gradient (and hence, tangential angle) of the curve y? Well, if it is the case, then the arc length …

Oct 7, 2023 · Let s = the length (please note the spelling) of the arc in whatever units you are using. Let r = the radius of that arc (in the same units). Let θ equal the central angle of the arc …

Aug 6, 2024 · How would I find the distance between "A" and "B"? For an example this is a 4" diameter circle. The tangent lengths were calculated using a pipe hanger that I'm working on, …
