Mechanical Engineering

A disk cam rotating at 200 rpm lifts a radial roller followerwith simple harmonic motion through a maximum displacement of 2.5in. while the cam rotates through 90°. There is then a dwell of thefollower for 180° of cam rotation, followed by a return of thefollower in simple harmonic motion in the remaining 90° of camrotation. For a follower weight of 8 lb, determine the inertiaforce of the follower for each 15° of cam rotation and plot theresult. Determine and plot the resultant of the weight force andinertia force. Determine the required spring constant of a springwhich will maintain contact of the follower with the cam throughoutthe cam rotation.
