1. [25%] A cam with an oscillating roller follower is rotating clockwise. During the follower 50 clockwise
rotation, the cam provides cycloidal motion in its first 150 rotation. The follower then dwells for cam
rotation from 150 to 210. When the follower returns, the cam provides harmonic motion. The roller has
radius 1.5 cm and pivot circle radius is 4.5 cm. The radius of base circle is 2cm. The pivot arm length is to
be determined such that the pressure angle starts out at zero. Layout the cam profile using 60 plotting
intervals. You need to describe your graphical procedures step by step.

[25%] A cam with an oscillating flat-face follower is rotating counterclockwise. The follower rotates
clockwise for 30 with harmonic motion in the first 170 of cam rotation. The following figure shows the
cam in its original position, with follower initial pressure angle 30.
(a) [10%] Graphically determine the offset circle and pivot circle diameter.
(b) [15%] By inverting the mechanism, draw the position of the follower when the cam rotates 160. Note
that you need to describe your graphical procedures step by step.
