Answer:
Step 1 of 3
Calculate the total time taken by the cam for one revolution:
Calculate the angular velocity of the cam:
Here, the angular velocity of cam is
Substitute 6.4 s for t.
Hence, the angular velocity of cam is .
Step 2 of 3
Follow the steps given below to plot the follower displacement diagram:
1. Choose Y-axis as length of follower rise in inches and X-axis as cam angle or time in seconds.
2. Since, from follower moves with constant velocity, so draw a straight line passing through
and
.
3. Since, there is a dwell of 2.3 s, so draw a straight line parallel to X-axis as shown below.
4. Since, there is a fall of 1.2 s, so draw a straight line passing through and
.
Step 3 of 3
Draw the graph for the follower displacement, cam angle and time as shown below:
