Curves & Motion · Superchallenge problem

A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 60∘60^\circ above the horizontal and moves under constant gravity (no air resistance). Find the ratio of the radius of curvature of its path at the launch point to the radius of curvature at the highest point. (The answer does not depend on the launch speed or on gg.)
