not quite sure what you're asking here... if you're asking if they curve the starting line, then the answer is that it depends on the race most individual distance (600m+ in most cases) events start on what's called a 'waterfall line'. This line is a progressively curved line intended to compensate for the added distance of running in the outside lanes. As soon as the gun goes off, the runners fight for position in the innermost lane. For almost every sprinting event (less the 55, 55h, 100, 110hh) and some relays, runners begin in a 'staggered' position, in which each lane has its own starting line, again to compensate for added distance in the outer lanes. These lines are not curved, though the 'break line', a line that may or may not be used (depending on the race and meet) to signify when a runner can 'break' out of his or her assigned lane and move to lane 1 without penalty, is sometimes used in a race and is curved in the opposite direction (away from runners in outer lanes).

Discuss line integral and its real life applications?
A line integral can evaluate scalar and vector field functions along a curve/path. When applied on vector field, line integral is considered as measure of the total effect of the vector field along a specific curve whereas in scalar field application, the line integral is interpreted as the area under the field carved out by a particular curve.Line integral has many applications in physics. In mechanics, line integral is used to determine work done by a force in moving an object along a curve. In circuit analysis, it is used for calculating voltage.
What is the sector line?
The sector line is the line in which marks the edge of a field in track and field events. The shot or ball must land within the lines to be accepted as valid.

What is meant by tangent to a curve at a point?
It is a straight line that touches the curve such that the line is perpendicular to the radius of the curve at the point of contact.
