Suppose that a function $f(x)$ defined in $-1<x<1$ satisfies the following properties (i) , (ii), (iii). (i) $f'(x)$ is continuous. (ii) When $-1<x<0,\ f'(x)<0,\ f'(0)=0$, when $0<x<1,\ f'(x)>0$. (iii) $f(0)=-1$ Let $F(x)=\int_0^x \sqrt{1+\{f'(t)\}^2}dt\ (-1<x<1)$. If $F(\sin \theta)=c\theta\ (c :\text{constant})$ holds for $-\frac{\pi}{2}<\theta <\frac{\pi}{2}$, then find $f(x)$.

The rectangle with vertices $(0,0)$, $(0,3)$, $(2,0)$ and $(2,3)$ is rotated clockwise through a right angle about the point $(2,0)$, then about $(5,0)$, then about $(7,0$), and finally about $(10,0)$. The net effect is to translate it a distance $10$ along the $x$-axis. The point initially at $(1,1)$ traces out a curve. Find the area under this curve (in other words, the area of the region bounded by the curve, the $x$-axis and the lines parallel to the $y$-axis through $(1,0)$ and $(11,0)$).
