## Problem Statement

Calculate the lengths of the arcs of the curves given by the equations in polar coordinates.

$$
\rho=5 e^{5 \varphi / 12}, 0 \leq \varphi \leq \frac{\pi}{3}
$$
## Solution

The length of the arc of a curve given by an equation in polar coordinates is determined by the formula

$$
L=\int_{\phi_{1}}^{\phi_{2}} \sqrt{\rho^{2}+\left(\frac{d \rho}{d \phi}\right)^{2}} d \phi
$$

Let's find \(\frac{d \rho}{d \phi}\):

$$
\frac{d \rho}{d \phi}=5 \cdot \frac{5}{12} e^{5 \phi / 12}=\frac{25}{12} e^{5 \phi / 12}
$$

We get:

$$
\begin{aligned}
L & =\int_{0}^{\pi / 3} \sqrt{\left(5 e^{5 \phi / 12}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{25}{12} e^{5 \phi / 12}\right)^{2}} d \phi= \\
& =\int_{0}^{\pi / 3} \sqrt{\left(25+\frac{625}{144}\right) e^{5 \phi / 6}} d \phi= \\
& =\frac{65}{12} \int_{0}^{\pi / 3} e^{5 \phi / 12} d \phi=\left.\frac{65}{12} \cdot \frac{12}{5} e^{5 \phi / 12}\right|_{0} ^{\pi / 3}=13 \cdot\left(e^{5 \pi / 36}-1\right)
\end{aligned}
$$
