Problem Statement

Let C C be the parameterized curve for a given positive number r r and 0tπ 0\leq t\leq \pi, C: \left\{\begin{array}{ll} x \equal{} 2r(t \minus{} \sin t\cos t) &   \\ y \equal{} 2r\sin ^ 2 t &   \end{array} \right. When the point P P moves on the curve C C, (1) Find the magnitude of acceleralation of the point P P at time t t. (2) Find the length of the locus by which the point P P sweeps for 0tπ 0\leq t\leq \pi. (3) Find the volume of the solid by rotation of the region bounded by the curve C C and the x x-axis about the x x-axis. Edited.
