Hi guys,
I'm getting stuck in trying to come up with a formula for the arc length of my equation, z = A*y^2 - B*y^3. A and B are both constants. I apologise for using z and y, this is just the way I have my problem set up (z is my vertical axis, and y is my horizontal axis: I guess you can treat it as y = A*x^2 - B&x^3).
Ideally, I would like to compute the arc length formula for this equation, set it to a certain number, e.g. 10 and calculate the corresponding horizontal value (on my y-axis).
Thank you for your help!
