An eccentric circular cam, which serves a similar function as the Scotch yoke mechanism in Problem 11.13, is used in conjunction with a flat face follower to control motion in pumps and in steam engine valves. Knowing that the eccentricity is denoted by e, the maximum range of the displacement of the follower is dmax and the maximum velocity of the follower is Vmax determine the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the follower.
