Answer

$-\kappa T + \tau B$

Work Step by Step

Since \[ \mathrm{B} \times \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{N} \] Then \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{d \mathbf{N}}{d s} &=\frac{d \mathbf{B}}{d s} \times \mathbf{T} +\mathbf{B} \times \frac{d \mathbf{T}}{d s}\\ &=\mathbf{B} \times(\kappa \mathbf{N})+(-\tau \mathbf{N}) \times \mathbf{T} \\ &=\kappa \mathbf{B} \times \mathbf{N}-\tau \mathbf{N} \times \mathbf{T}, \quad \text { Use } \mathbf{B} \times \mathbf{N}=-\mathbf{T}, \quad \mathbf{N} \times \mathbf{T}=-\mathbf{B} \\ &=-\kappa \mathbf{T}+\tau \mathbf{B} \end{aligned} \]
