Q2- Consider a cam with 500 rpm constant speed gives its follower 4 cm cycloid rise by rotating from
=0 to 180. Note that the radius of the follower is 1 cm and base radius of the cam is 4 cm.

a) (5p) Draw graphically this rise part of the motion curve of the follower (Use 1/1 scale in drawings)

b) (5p) Find that at which cam rotation angle the maximum velocity of the follower is observed

c) (10p) Draw the rise part of the cam profile by 30 degree steps (Use 1/1 scale in drawings)
