1. Starting from the position shown, the slide is to drop 2 in. with uniform motion during three-
eight of a turn; to rise at once 1 in.; to remain still one-eighth of a turn; to drop 2 in. with
harmonic motion in one-half turn; and then rise to 3 in. at once. Find the cam outline if the end
A is in contact with the cam, the latter to turn clockwise. Assume that A is kept in contact with
the cam by some external force.
2. Design the cam profile for a point follower that is to rise and fall as follows: rise 1 inch in first
quarter turn of the cam with uniform acceleration; rise ½ inch in second quarter turn with
uniform motion; rise 1 inch in third quarter turn with uniform retardation; drop 1 inch instantly;
fall to its original position in the fourth quarter turn with harmonic motion. The distance
between the point of the follower and the center of rotation of the cam is 2 inches.
GOOD LUCK
