Find the normal curvature and find the principal vectors at


Find the normal curvature and find the principal vectors at the point given.

Let S be the embedded torus with parametrization

σ (θ, φ) = ((2 + cosθ) cosφ, (2 + cosθ)sinφ, sinθ).

The first and the second fundamental forms of σ are

2 + (2 + cosθ)22 and dθ2 + (2 + cosθ) cosθdφ2

Let p = (1,0,0) be a point on the torus.

(a) Find the normal curvature kn(p, v) in the direction of the tangent vector

v = (0, 3, 2)  ∈ TpS.

(b) Find the principal vectors at the point p.
