Question
Suppose that r is the position vector of a particle moving along a plane curve and dA dt is the rate at which the vector sweeps out area. Without introducing coordinates, and assuming the necessary derivatives exist, give a geometric argument based on increments and limits for the validity of the equation
Solution
The first step in solving 12.6 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Suppose that r is the position vector of a particle moving along a plane curve and dA dt is the rate at which the vector sweeps out area. Without introducing coordinates, and assuming the necessary derivatives exist, give a geometric argument based on increments and limits for the validity of the equation
From the textbook chapter Velocity and Acceleration in Polar Coordinates you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
