1. A flat-faced follower is driven using a circular eccentric cam rotating at a constant angular velocity ω.
At time t=0, the vertical position of the follower is y(0)=0, and the system is in the configuration shown
below.
Using geometrical method or otherwise, the vertical position of the follower face, y(t) is obtained
as___________.
2. A plate cam drives an offset flat-face follower with simple harmonic motion for a rise of 5 cm. The
follower moves out and returns in one revolution without any dwell. The base circle radius is 2.5 cm, and
the offset is 1 cm. Find the parametric equations of the cam profile.
