	Arc length -- Topics in trigonometry
		At that central angle, the arc is four fifths of the radius.
		Note that an angle of 1 radian is a central angle whose subtending arc is equal in length to the radius.
		Yet it remains to be proved that an arc equal to the radius in one circle, will subtend the same central angle as an arc equal to the radius in another circle.

	Measurement of angles
		Then the radian measure of the angle is the ratio of the length of the subtended arc to the radius of the circle.
		On a circle of radius 5.782 meters the length of an arc is 1.742 meters.
		Since the length of the arc equals radius times the angle in radians, it follows that the angle in radians equals the length of the arc divided by the radius.

	14.3 Arc Length and Curvature.htm
		Also notice that the equation for arc length in 3-D is very similar to the equation for arc length in 2-D. Here is a picture to help you visualize the concept of arc length.
		If we were to use the formula for arc length to determine the length of these curves they would be the same, because they represent the same curve.
		It is often useful to parametrize a curve with respect to arc length because arc length arises naturally from the shape of the curve and does not depend on a particular coordinate system.

	Arc Length Contest (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The student must compute the arc length for each of her three functions, and the winner of the contest is the one who has the function with the smallest arc length on the unit interval.
		The actual arc length will therefore be greater than the sum of the lengths of the line segment connecting the origin with this maximum point and the segment connecting the maximum point with (1,0).
		The arc length contest, posed in an equivalent minimization form, requires that the curve be the graph of a function and that the figure by bounded by the unit interval on the x-axis.

		The length of a space curve can be computed by noticing that when dt is close to zero then the length of the vector connecting f(t) with f(t+dt) is close to the arc length, i.e.
		For this reason, the concept of arc length is very useful for defining other quantities that are also intrinsic to the curve.
		The curvature, at a given point, of a space curve is defined as the rate of change of the unit tangent vector with respect to arc length.

	Aussie Weld Introduction to Arc Welding - Basic Principles of Welding - Arc Cutting of Metals
		When this equipment is not available a rough but handy substitute can be found in arc cutting, which relies not on burning of the metal as with the oxy cutting technique, but the simple melting and forcing away by the high heat intensity, forceful arc.
		In piercing, draw a long arc over the spot to be pierced, using a small circular motion until the metal surface is molten.
		The arc is independent of the work and it may be used as a source of localised intense heat for heating for bending etc. brazing and soldering, fusion welding or hard surfacing.

	RevSearch Engine Dyno; comments on Torque vs Horsepower
		A radian is the arc of a circle that is equal to its radius.
		Because both of these have length units and the arc length is divided by the radius, all the units cancel and you end up with a unitless ratio.
		I belive that when you are refering to radians you are not refering to the length of an arc of a circle, but actually to the angle corresponding to that arc.

	Arc Length Limitations - Lumenlab
		Arc length has been mentioned here in LL but rarely quantified, this characteristic is only sometimes included in bulb datasheets.
		I think it can be suggested that roughly the same amount of light is generated at each point along the arc so we could say that 1/37th of the total lumens produced by a bulb (with 37mm arc) would be present in each mm of arc length (this is a guess not a fact).
		Anyway, the projected arc won´t be as precise as your drawings but a more diffuses arc zone (where a larger aperture lens would capture more light) but if we consider ideal world (thing that I like to think as a starting point of a design) then the arc lengh will determine the lens aperture, yes.
