01. In a cam - follower mechanism, the

01. Consider a circular cam with a flat face
follower needs to rise through 20mm during
follower as shown in the figure below. The
60° of cam rotation, the first 30° with a
cam is rotated in the plane of the paper
constant acceleration and then with a
about point P lying 5 mm away from its
deceleration of the same magnitude. The
center. The radius of the cam is 20 mm. The
initial and final speeds of the follower are
distance (in mm) between the highest and
zero. The cam rotates at uniform speed of
the lowest positions of the flat face follower
300 rpm. The maximum speed of the
is
follower is (GATE-ME-05)
