Let $ C$ be the circle with radius 1 centered on the origin. Fix the endpoint of the string with length $ 2\pi$ on the point $ A(1,\ 0)$ and put the other end point $ P$ on the point $ P_0(1,\ 2\pi)$. From this situation, when we twist the string around $ C$ by moving the point $ P$ in anti clockwise with the string streched tightly, find the length of the curve that the point $ P$ draws from sarting point $ P_0$ to reaching point $ A$.
