Parametric Calculus Example 1 Involute Of A Circle Beginalign x r costheta theta sintheta y r sintheta - theta costheta endalign where r is the radius of the circle and theta is angle measured from the horizontal. . A Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve when theta pi4. Derive the parametric equations x cos t t sint y sin t of the point Px y for the involute. An involute curve can be expressed by parametric equations in planar coordinates. Ref_r is the fixed radius of circle being unwound. The-unwound portion of the string is tangent to the circle at Q and t is the radian measure of th...
