A cam-follower mechanism is governed by a displacement function given by y(0) = 80(1 – cos 8), mm; 0soS 2n where y is the follower displacement and 0 is the cam rotation. The cam speed is 800 rpm. The spring constant is 22 N/mm. The spring has an initial compression of 10 mm when the roller follower is in its lowest position. The weight of the mass to be moved including the follower is 8 N. When the cam has rotated by 60°, determine the vertical force exerted by the cam on the follower.

Q7:-A cam having a lift of 1 cm operates the suction valve of 4-stroke cycle petrol engine. The least radius of the cam is 2 cm and the nose circle radius is 0.25 cm. The crank angle of the engine, when suction valve opens is 4° after T.D.C. and it is 50° after B.D.C. when the suction valve closes. The valve is integral with the camshaft and operates as flat-faced follower. Estimate (a) the maximum velocity of the valve when the engine speed is 2000 rpm, (b) the maximum acceleration and retardation of the valve and (c) the maximum and minimum force to be exerted by the spring to overcome inertia of the valve parts which weigh 2 N.
A cam consist of a ciruclar disc of diameter 80 mm with its center displaced 30 mm from the cainshaft axis. The follower has a flate surface (horizontal) in contact with cam and line of action of the follower is vertical and passes through the shaft axis. The mass of follower is 2.5 kg and is pressed downwards by a spring which has stiffness of 4.0 N/mm. In the lowest position the spring force is 50 N. Drive an expression for acceleration of the follower in terms of angle of rotation from the biginning of lift.
