QUESTION 1: By calculating the magnitude of a position vector

Find the normal vector a function of a u

and when position vector is .given as
| |
( )
( ) ( )
Differentiate the function u and v respectively

( )
Now calculate the cross product of u and v
| | √
| |

( ) ( ) ( ) QUESTION 2:
Write the vector
The system of equations
Now the magnitude of vector u and v
| | √ ( ) ( ) ( )

| | √
√ ( )

√ ( )
( )
It further holds that
| | √

By substituting the value gives

| | | |
( )

Now calculate the normal vector n (u, v) ( )

Thus the components are
