Answer

$$14$$

Work Step by Step

$v(t)=\dfrac{dr}{dt}$ $\implies v(t)=-3 \sin t i +3 \cos t j +3\sqrt t k$ Now, $|v(t)|=\sqrt {(-3 \sin t)^2 +(3 \cos t)^2 +(3\sqrt t)^2}=3 \sqrt {1+t}$ Arc Length is: $L =\int_a^b |v| \ dt$ or, $=\int_0^3 3 \sqrt {1+t} \ dt $ or, $=[2(1+t)^{3/2}]_0^{3}$ or, $=2(1+3)^{3/2} -2 $ or, $=14$
