15. (b)
The pressure angle can be reduced by increasing the angle of rotation of the cam, thereby lengthening the
pitch curve for the specified follower displacement. The cam profile becomes flatter and pressure angle
becomes smaller.

The centrifugal forces due to the masses are
F1 = m1 r1 ω2 = 3 × 0.3 × (78.5)2 × 10–3 = 5.55 kN
F2 = m2 r2 ω2 = 10 × 0.15 × (78.5)2 × 10–3 = 9.24 kN
In vector from, these forces can be written as



F1 = 5.55∠135° = − 3.92i + 3.92 j



F2 = 9.24∠–150° = − 8.00i − 4.62 j




Here i , j and k are unit vectors along x, y and z axis, respectively. To find bearing reactions at B, we take
moments about the bearing at A. This equation is written as

0.5 k × FB = − 0.21i + 3.576 j
