length of arc

Let us learn about length of arc


The arc length “L” is either infinite or finite. If L < ∞ then we can say that C is rectifiable, & is non-rectifiable otherwise. Such description of arc length does not require that C is defined by a differentiable function. The perception of differentiability is not defined on a metric space. The definition of Length of arc for the curve is analogous to the definition of the total variation of a real-valued function. Length of arc is the measure of the distance along the curved line making up the arc. Length of arc is longer than the straight line distance between its endpoints. Length of arc is the fractional part of the circumference subtended by the arc in a circle.
Length of arc = measure of arc × π × d, where d is the diameter of the circle.

In our next blog we shall learn about metallic bonding I hope the above explanation was useful.Keep reading and leave your comments.
