3 A curve has parametric equations
$$x = a \left( 1 - \cos ^ { 3 } \theta \right) , \quad y = a \sin ^ { 3 } \theta , \quad \text { for } 0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 3 }$$
where \(a\) is a positive constant.
The arc length from the origin to a general point on the curve is denoted by \(s\), and \(\psi\) is the acute angle defined by \(\tan \psi = \frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\).
- Express \(s\) and \(\psi\) in terms of \(\theta\), and hence show that the intrinsic equation of the curve is
$$s = \frac { 3 } { 2 } a \sin ^ { 2 } \psi$$
- For the point on the curve given by \(\theta = \frac { \pi } { 6 }\), find the radius of curvature and the coordinates of the centre of curvature.
- Find the area of the curved surface generated when the curve is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(y\)-axis.
