DIFFERENTIALCALCULUS Definition: Let P be a given point on a given curve, and Q be any other point on it. Let the normal at P and Q intersects at N. If N tends to definite position C as Q tends P. Then C is called the centre of curvature of the curve at P. The reciprocal of the distance CP is called the Curvature of the curve at P. The circle with its centre at C and radius CP is called the circle of curvature of the curve at P. The distance CP is called the radius of curvature of the curve at P. The radius of Curvature is usually denoted by ρ. Note: (dψ/ds) is the rate of bending of the curve. Write to the curvature of the curve at point P.
CARTESIAN FORMULA FOR RADIUS OF CURVATURE We know that (dy/dx) represents the slope of the tangent to the curve y = f (x) at ( x,y ). Hence (dy/dx) = tan ψ. Differentiate both sides write to x we get d²y / dx² = sec²ψ.(dψ/dx) ds/dψ = ρ dψ/ds = 1/ρ = sec²ψ.(dψ/ds).(ds/dx) dx/ds = cosψ dy/ds = sinψ. = sec²ψ.(1/ρ).(1/cosψ) = sec³ψ / ρ = (sec ψ)³ / ρ sec²ψ = 1+ tan²ψ d²y / dx² = (1+ tan²ψ) 3.1/2 secψ = ( 1+tan² ψ) ρ sec ψ = (1+tan²ψ)½ Therefore, ρ = (1+ tan²ψ) 3.1/2 tan ψ = dy / dx d²y / dx² ρ = (1+y 1 ²) 3/2 Y 2
Note: The following formula is very useful, when the tangent is parallel to the y axis. [ 1 + (dx / dy)²] 3/2 ρ = d²x / dy² 1) Find the radius of curvature for the curve x + y = 1. at (1/4,1/4). Given x+ y = 1 Differentiating write to x x½+y½ = 1. (½ x -1/2 )+ (1/2 y -1/2 ). dy/dx = 0. 1/(2 x) + 1/(2 y). dy/dx = 0. dy/dx = (- 1/(2 x)). 2 y dy/dx = - ( y/x) ---------------------I Therefore (dy/dx) (1/4,1/4) = - (1/4) / (1/4) = -1. ---------------------II
Differentiate equation I write to x dy/dx = -( y) / ( x) - x(1/(2 y))(dy/dx ) + y(1/(2 x)) d²y / dx² = x (-1/4)(1/(2 1/4))(-1) + ( 1/4)(1/(2 1/4)) (d²y / dx²) (1/4,1/4) = ¼ = 1 / ( 1/4) = 4. ρ = (1+y 1 ²) 3/2 ) / y 2 = ((1+1) 3/2 ) / 4 =(2 2) / 4 = 2/2 Therefore ρ = 1/ 2 2) Find the radius of curvature at (x,y) for the curve a²y = x³-a³ Given a²y = x³-a³. Differentiate write to x We get, a²(dy/dx) = 3x² dy/dx = 3x²/a² d²y/dx² = 6x/a²
ρ = ((1+y 1 ²) 3/2 ) / y 2 (1+(9x 4 /a 4 )) 3/2 ((a 4 +9x 4 )/a 4 )) 3/2 = = 6x / a² 6x / a² (a 4 +9x 4 ) 3/2 a² =. a 6 = ((a 4 +9x 4 ) 3/2 ) / (6a 4 x) 6x 3) Find ρ for the curve y = c cosh (x/c) at the point (0,c) (or) y =( a/2)(e x/a + e -x/a ) Given y = c cosh (x/c) (or) y = a/2(e x/a + e -x/a ) dy/dx = c sinh (x/c).(1/c) = sinh (x/c) (dy/dx) (0,c) = sinh (0/c) sinh0 = 0. = 0. (dy/dx) (0,c) = (1/c) cosh 0 cosh0 = 1. = 1/c Therefore ρ = (1+0) 3/2 / (1/c) = c

Given xy = c² ------------------------ I Since x = c From yc = c² Therefore y = c We have to find the radius of curvature at (c,c) on xy = c² Differentiate I write to x x.(dy/dx)+y = 0 dy/dx = -y/x ------------------- II Therefore (dy/dx) (c,c) = -c/c = -1 Differentiate II write to x d²y/dx² [x.((dy/dx)) y.1] = - x² [x(-y/x)-y] = - x² d²y/dx² = 2y/x² (d²y/dx²) (c,c) = 2c/c² = 2/c
Therefore the radius of curvature at (c,c) is ρ = (1+y 1 ²) 3/2 (1+1) 3/2 y 2 2/c = = (2 2c ) / 2 Therefore ρ = 2. c 6) Find the radius of curvature at any point (x,y) on the curve y =c log sec(x/c).

(1/c) Therefore ρ = ((1+y 1 ²) 3/2 ) / y 2 at (x,y) (1+ tan²(x/c)) 3/2 (sec²(x/c)) 3/2 = = sec²(x/c). (1/c) (1/c) sec²(x/c) = c sec ²(x/c) Therefore ρ = c sec(x/c)
7) Find the radius of curvature of y =2a on the curve y² =4ax. Given curve y²=4ax 2y(dy/dx) = 4a (dy/dx) = 2a /y (dy/dx) (0,2a) = 2a / 2a =1 Therefore y 1 =1 y.0 - (2a(dy/dx)) (d²y/dx²) = y² (d²y/dx²) (0,2a) = (-2a) / 4a² = -1 / 2a Therefore ρ = (1+1) 3/2 / (-1/2a) = 2 2 / (-1/2a) = - 4 2. a ρ = 4 2. a 8) For the curve y= (ax / a+x) if ρ is the radius of curvature at any point (x,y), Show that (2ρ /a) 2/3 = (y/x)² + (x/y)². Given y = ax / a+x = a (x/(a+x)) ----------------------- I Differentiate with respect to x
a[(a+x).1 (x.1) a²+0 1 a²x² y² (dy/dx) = = =. = (a+x)² (a+x)² x² (a+x)² x² Differentiate I with respect to x (d²y/dx²) = d/dx [a²(a+x) -2 ] = - 2a²(a+x) -3. 1 = (-2a²) / (a+x)³ 1-2a³x³ -2y³ =. = ax³ (a+x)³ ax³ (1+(y 4 /x 4 )) 3/2 Therefore ρ = (-2y³ / ax³) 2ρ (1+(y 4 /x 4 )) 3/2 = a (-y³ / x³) Raise the power 2/3 on both sides (2ρ/a) 2/3 (1+(y 4 /x 4 )) = (y²/x²) (x 4 +y 4 ) x² =. x 4 y²
= (x 4 +y 4 ) / (x²y²) = (x²/y²) + (y²/x²) Therefore (2ρ/a) 3/2 = (x/y)² + (y/x)² 9) Find the radius of curvature for the curve x+ y = 1 at (1/4,1/4). Given x= y = 1. Differentiate with respect to x 1 1 dy + (. ) = 0 2 x 2 y dx dy/dx = -( y/ x) I Differentiate equation I with respect to x d²y - [ x.(1/(2 y)).(dy/dx) - ( y.(1/(2 x))) ] = dx² x - [ x.(1/(2 y)).(- y/ x) - ( y.(1/(2 x))) ] = x = (1/2 + 1/2) / (1/4) = 4

Sonl: Given x=a(cost+tsint) y=a(sint-tcos t)
(dx/dt)= a(-sin t+tcos t+sin t) dy/dt=a(cos t+tsin t-cos t) = atcos t = atsin t (dy/dx)=(atsin t / atcos t) = tan t (d²y/dx²)=(d/dt) (dy/dx) (dt/dx) =(d/dt) (tan t) (1 / atcos t) =(sec² t) (1 / atcos t) = 1 / atcos³ t Therefore, [1+(dy/dx)²] 3/2 (1+tan² t) 3/2 ρ = = (d²y/dx²) 1 / atcos³ t ρ = (sec³ t) (atcos³ t) = at ρ = at 4) Find ρ for the curve x =alog (sec θ), y =a(tan θ- θ) at 0.

(d²y/dx²) = (d/dθ) (dy/dx) (dθ/dx) = (d/dθ) (tan θ) (1 / atan θ) = (sec² θ) (1 / atan θ) = (1 / cos² θ) (1 /a(sin θ/cosθ)) = (2 / asin 2θ) = (2 / a) cosec 2θ Therefore, (1+tan² θ) 3/2 asec ³ θ ρ = = 2/a. cosec 2θ 2cosec 2θ 1 1 = a.. Cos³ θ 2.(1 / sin 2θ) = (a 2sinθ cosθ) / (2cos³ θ) = a tanθ secθ Therefore, ρ = a tanθ secθ x-----------------------------------------------------x
POLAR FORM 1) Find ρ for the curve r =ae θcot α. Given r = ae θcot α (dr/dθ) = acotα e θcot α = rcotα (d²r/dθ²) = (d/dθ) (dr/dθ) = (d/dθ)(rcotα = (d/dr) (rcot α) (dr/dθ) = cot α. rcotα i.e) (d²r/dθ²) = rcot²α (r²+r ²) 3/2 = [r²+r²cot²α] 3/2 = r³cosec³α And r² + 2(dr/dθ) 2 r(d²r/dθ²) = r² + 2r²cot² α - r²cot²α = r² + r²cot²α = r²(1 + cot²α) = r²cosec²α Therefore, ρ = r³cosec³ α / r²cosec² α = rcosecα 2) For the curve r n =a n cosnθ, the radius of curvature is (a n.r - n+1 ) / (n+1).
