128 <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Calculus</strong>, Fifth Edition6. Let I' move in space with spccd I as in Problcm 5. Thc c.lrr~~:trrr-c, of the path is de<strong>fi</strong>nedas K. whc1.cThus if A- # 0. T and (I/~)rlT/rls = N arc perpendicular unit vcctors: T is tangcnt tothc curvc at P. N is normal to the curvc at P and is termed thc prirrciptrl normal. Therrrrliu.~ cfc-u~~trture is p = I/K. The vcctor B = T x N is called the hirrorn~ttl. Establishthc following relations:a) B is a unit vcctor and (T. N. B) is a positive triple of unit vcctorsb) $ . ~ = O a n d g . ~ = OC) thcre is a scalar -s such that 2 = -rN; r i4 known as thc mrsinr~d) 2 = -KT + r B. The equationsare known as the Frrneffortnlt1tl.v. For further properties of curves, see the book by Struiklisted at the end of the chapter.7. Let a point P move in space at speed v = ti.r/dt = ivl # 0. Show:a) a = 2 = $T+ $N (p # 0,.
