Travel time at reciprocal-curvature speed

ID: travel-time-at-reciprocal-curvature-speed

If a regular plane curve has positive curvature and a particle moves with speed in the chosen time units, its elapsed time is , the total curvature traversed. On a logarithmic spiral , both and equal . Hence and every complete turn takes time , regardless of its radius.
