Q1. (20%) A cam drive is required for a mechanism that feeds papers into a printing press. The

cam follower must rise outward 1.0 in with constant acceleration in 1.7 s, dwell for 0.8 s, fall 0.5

in with constant acceleration in 0.8 s, dwell for 0.3 s, fall 0.5 in. with constant acceleration in 0.8

s, and then repeat the sequence. Determine the required speed of the cam and graphically plot a

follower displacement diagram.

Q2. (80%) A plate cam must provide the displacement shown in Figure below to a reciprocating

in-line roller follower. The roller diameter is 2.0 in. The cam must have a base circle of 4.0 in.

and rotate clockwise. Graphically construct the profile.
