Given the vector function , you can get an osculating circle to at any point in time . Use this osculating circle as the largest trace of a sphere (so now when changes, you have a sphere moving along the curve with its largest trace as the osculating circle to ). If the rate of change of the volume of this sphere with respect to at can be represented in the form , find .
Clarification:
The osculating circle to at time is the circle tangent to at time with radius , where is the curvature of at time .
