Question 1[5 Marks] a) Normal and tangent components of the acceleration When an object performs a pure rotation with

a constant radius, its acceleration is divided into two components, tangent and normal components, as shown here: Tangent component is 90 to the direction of the link, The Normal component is the opposite direction to the link, Together they are the vector components of the total cceleration

b) The Coriolis effect The Coriolis Effect is when an object is under linear and rotational motions that are independent of each other! "#amples for this effect include a moving point on a rotating desk, or the inverted $rank %lider! c) Force Closure s! Form Closure

This makes it important, especially for force closed cams! s it can be seen from the figure, it is formed between the line perpendicular to the line of contact ,between follower and cam-, and the direction of the follower!
