Parameterizing by Arc Length:
Parameterize the following function by arc length:
$$\mathbf{r}(t) = \langle \cos t, \sin t, t \rangle$$
More Interesting:
Find a vector function, $\mathbf{r}(t)$, that represents the intersection of the cone $z = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$
with the plane $z = 4+y$.
What is the length of this curve?
Parameterize this curve in terms of arc length.
More Theoretical:
Suppose the curve $C$ is parameterized with respect to arc length by $\mathbf{r}(t)$,
that is, $|\mathbf{r}'(t)| = 1$ for all $t$. What is the distance along $C$ between $\mathbf{r}(3)$ and $\mathbf{r}(10)$?
