Hello,
You can easily calculate the formula of the radius of curvature of conic using these steps-
If a curve is given by the polar equation r=r(θ), the curvature is calculated by the formula -
K=|(r^2+2(r')^2-rr'')| / (r^2+2(r')^2)^(3/2)
And then the radius of curvature can be written as inverse of K ie.
R=1/K
Hope this helps.
