I want to caculate length of curve in Polar coordinate system like this: if r=r(a)
then length of the curve is ∫r(a)da Is this right? if not ,why ?
What's the right one ?
I konw the way in rectangular coordinate system,I just want to do it in Polar coordinate system .
Thank you all! I've read 11. Classical Mechanics: Point Particles and Relativity,and the general part of the 14. Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics,i'll keep reading in your seggested sequence and look for better books.
Are these books no good for teaching myself?
I want to learn these books by myself,but I don't know the sequence.

Help me!A spinning blue plastic object made me sleepless.
I've seen the mit online vedio course Physics I: Classical Mechanics Lecture 21 Torques, Oscillating Bodies,near the end 44:19.There is a spinning blue plastic object,the teacher spun it, it revolved then it stoped,then it revolved...
