Problem 6.62
As the circular cam, whose center is at
A
rotates, it causes the follower
B
to move back and forth. The cam angle is
, the radius of the cam
is
R
, and the angular speed of the cam is
P
D!OA
. The cam is
pin-connected to the fixed point O.
Using the given
x
coordinate, determine the velocity of the fol-
lower as a function of the cam angle
, the radius of the cam
R
, and
the given angular speed of the cam !OA.
