Curves & Motion · Superchallenge problem

A plane curve starts at the origin with a horizontal tangent, heading in the positive xx-direction, and bends to the left (upward). At every point its curvature equals cos⁡φ\cos\varphi, where φ\varphi is the angle from the positive xx-axis to the tangent direction. Find the yy-coordinate of the point of the curve with x=π3x = \dfrac{\pi}{3}.
