Question I want to know the thread lenght if it is wound on a cylinder at a certain pitch.
eg. cylinder 50mm dia.
pitch 12mm
consider the thread is wound for 10 times(i.e 10 pitches)
Thanks
Answer Let's make parametrization to our thread Lulianic curve :
x(t)=25cos(t)
y(t)=25sin(t)
z(t)=12t , 0<t<2pi .. r(t)=[x(t),y(t),z(t)]
Length of the curve is Integral(t from 0 to 10pi) of |r'(t)| dt
Now, x'(t)=-25sin(t) , y'(t)=25cos(t), z'(t)=12.
All you have to do now is to calculate the integral.
