Given:
r(t)=<9t,t2,t3> at the point (9,1,1)
The objective is to find the curvature
The curvature us |r×t||r|3
It is given that,
r(t)=<9t,t2,t3>
On differentiating,
r(t)=<9,2t,3t2>
On further differentiating,
r(t)=<0,2,6t>
r×r=<6t2,54t,18>
At t=1
|r×r|=62+542+182
=57.24
|r|=9.7
|r×r||r|3=57.249.73
=0.063
