Question
**Problem Description:**

A particle moves such that its position vector \( \mathbf{r}(t) \) is given by:

\[ 
\mathbf{r}(t) = (3 \cos t + 3t \sin t) \mathbf{i} + (3 \sin t - 3t \cos t) \mathbf{j} + (2t^2) \mathbf{k} 
\]

Calculate the distance traveled by the particle from \( t = 0 \) to \( t = 6\pi \).

**Answer Choices:**

- \( \circ \) 3
- \( \circ \) \(\sqrt{324\pi^2 + 5184\pi^4}\)
- \( \circ \) \(\sqrt{324\pi^2 + 5184\pi^4 + 9}\)
- \( \circ \) \(3\mathbf{i} - 18\pi \mathbf{j} + 72\pi^2 \mathbf{k}\)
- \( \circ \) \(90\pi^2\)

**Detailed Explanation:**

To solve this problem, you'll need to compute the integral of the magnitude of the derivative of the position vector, \(|\mathbf{v}(t)|\), where \(\mathbf{v}(t) = \frac{d\mathbf{r}}{dt}\). Apply the distance formula for a vector function to find the total distance traveled over the given interval.
