Curvature is a general term to describe a graph. Like, concave or convex.
Radius of curvature is more exact. If the curve in a 'small' section is allow to continue with the same curvature it would form a circle. that PRETEND circle would have an exact radius. That is the radius of curvature.

What is the curvature of circle having radius a?
1/aAccording to Wikipedia,"The canonical example of extrinsic curvature is that of a circle, which has curvature equal to the inverse of its radius everywhere. Smaller circles bend more sharply, and hence have higher curvature. The curvature of a smooth curve is defined as the curvature of its osculating circle at each point."
Difference between filet and radius?
The filet is part of the radius, therefore making the term filet radius. A filet radius measures an inside corner. A corner radius measures an outside corner.
What is the difference between radius and diameter?
radius is half and diameter is the whole Expanding theabove statement: Diameter is the width of a circle; Radius is one half the width. In math, the radius refers to the distance from the centerpoint of a circle out to the edge.
What is the length of an arc if we know the radius of curvature is 12 in. and the area of the sector created is 252 in2?
It is 42 inches.
Boys method for finding radius of curvature?
Simply cop a feel... Blind-guessing and groping seem to work quite effectively. Hope this helps!
