1. In the cam-follower system shown in Figure, 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 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;
and (c) conditions under which the follower loses contact with the cam.
2. Derive the equation of motion and find the steady-state response of the system shown in
Figure for rotational motion about the hinge O for the following data:
