constructing a spiral

72 Views Asked by At

picture of spiral]1I am seeking to construct a spiral with the constraints shown in the picture. The problem is that I have not covered polar co-ordinates and I am quite bogged down in understanding logarithmic spirals.

the main constraints of the spiral would be:

  • 0.15m from center point to start of spiral (apologies if I am butchering nomenclature)
  • 0.3m to the end of the spiral
  • that between the two points an angle of 30 degrees
  • that the distance between the edge of the spiral and the center point decrease linearly from 0.3m to 0.15m.

alternatively could someone suggest a good text book or suggest how to solve this problem?
