1. In the cam-follower system shown in figure below, the rotation of the cam imparts a vertical

motion to the follower. The pushrod, which acts as a spring, has been compressed by an
amount 0 before assembly. Determine the following: (a) equation of motion of the
follower, including the gravitational force; (b) force exerted on the follower by the cam; (c)
conditions under which the follower loses contact with the cam.

2. Find the steady-state response of the system shown in figure for the following data:

1 = 2000/, 2 = 600/, = 500 /, = 5, = 10, 0 = 1

2 , 0 = 50, = 20/.

3. A uniform bar of mass m is pivoted at point O and supported at the ends by two springs, as

shown in figure below. End P of spring PQ is subjected to a displacement = 0 , Find

the steady-state angular displacement of the bar when = 1, = 500 /,
= 400 /, = 15 , 0 = 1 , and = 10 /.

() = 0

4. Determine the steadystate amplitude of motion of the 5-kg block. The coefficient of

friction between the block and surface is 0.08.
