Curves & Motion · Superchallenge problem

A particle starts at rest at the origin at time t=0t = 0 and has acceleration a(t)=(−sin⁡t, cos⁡t)\mathbf a(t) = (-\sin t,\ \cos t). Find the curvature of its path at the moment it has travelled a total distance of 22. Give an exact answer in simplest radical form.
