Homework Statement
Consider the parametrization of torus given by:
x=x(ø,ß)=(3+cos(ø))cos(ß)
y=y(ø,ß)=(3+cos(ø))sin(ß)
z=z(ø,ß)=sin(ø),
for 0≤ø,ß≤2π
What is the radius of the circle that runs through the center of the tube, and what is the radius of the tube, measured from the central circle?
Homework Equations
?
The Attempt at a Solution
Hmmmm... I don't get it. The distance from a point on the torus to the center would be √(x2+y2+z2), I think. But the center of the tube? Not sure how that would work. H
Help is appreciated. And after that, I may ask some more questions. I know you folks are ready, willing, and able.
