Curvature: The arc rate at which the tangent changes direction as the point ?? (?? ) moves
along the curve is called the curvature vector of the curve and its magnitude is denoted
by ?? .
Torsion: The arc rate at which the bi-normal changes direction as the point ?? (?? ) moves
along the curve is called the torsion vector of the curve and its magnitude is denoted by
?? .

6.3 Show that the curve ???? (?? )=?? ??ˆ+(
?? +?? ?? )??ˆ+
(?? -?? ?? )
?? ??ˆ
lies in a plane.
(2013 : 10 Marks)
Solution:
For the curve to lie in a plane the binormal ?? must point in a constant direction as one
moves along the curve.

i.e., torsion must be zero.

(2014 : 10 Marks)
Solution:
The position vector ?? of any point on the given curve is ??
?? =?? cos ?? ??ˆ+??sin ?? ??ˆ
i.e., ?? =(?? cos ?? ,?? sin ?? )
