Question: 1 . An eccentric cam, 1 0 0 mm in diameter, rotates with an eccentricity of 1 0 mm as shown in Fig . 1

1. An eccentric cam, 100 mm in diameter, rotates with an eccentricity of 10 mm as shown in Fig.1. The roller follower is held against the cam by means of a helical compression spring. The force between the cam and the follower varies from 100 N at the lowest position to 350 N at the highest position of the follower. Design the spring from static considerations and determine the factor of safety against fluctuating stresses. Neglect the effect of inertia forces. Use ASTM A229 oil tempered steel after set removal as wire material. (Modulus of rigidity \(=81370\mathrm{MPa}\))
