Ok, so i need to calculate the equation of the evolute for the catenary
[tex]\gamma(t)= (t,cosh(t))[/tex].
I'm not really sure how to do this, the definition of evolute I have requires a unit-speed parametrization, but it looks a little difficult to find that also (the arclength if I'm correct is given by
[tex]s(t)=\frac{1}{2}(sin(2t)+t)[/tex]).
Is there some "standard" way of finding the evolute?

. And apparently the definition i was given for the evolute of a unit-speed curve can also be used for any other parametrization of the curve, so everything's a-okay.
