### Vector Functions and Their Properties

Consider the vector function given below.

\[ \mathbf{r}(t) = \langle 7t, 5 \cos(t), 5 \sin(t) \rangle \]

#### (a) Finding Unit Tangent and Unit Normal Vectors

We are tasked with finding the unit tangent vector, \(\mathbf{T}(t)\), and unit normal vector, \(\mathbf{N}(t)\).

- **Unit Tangent Vector, \(\mathbf{T}(t)\)**:
  \[\mathbf{T}(t) = \]

- **Unit Normal Vector, \(\mathbf{N}(t)\)**:
  \[\mathbf{N}(t) = \]

#### (b) Finding the Curvature

Next, we need to determine the curvature, \(\kappa(t)\).

- **Curvature, \(\kappa(t)\)**:
  \[\kappa(t) = \]

This exercise requires applying knowledge of vector calculus to find these vectors and curvature from the provided vector function \(\mathbf{r}(t)\).
