Question: Figure P 4 . 4 2 4 . 4 2 Figure P 4 . 4 2 shows an engine valve driven by an overhead camshaft.

Figure P4.42
4.42 Figure P4.42 shows an engine valve driven by an overhead camshaft. The
rocker arm pivots about the fixed point O and the inertia of the arm about this
point is Ir. The valve mass is mv and the spring mass is ms; its spring constant
is ks. Let fc denote the force exerted on the rocker arm by the camshaft.
Assuming that (t) and its time derivatives are known (from the cam profile
and the cam speed), derive a dynamic model that can be used to solve for the
cam force fc(t).(This information is needed to predict the amount of wear on
the cam surface.)
**I need the free body diagram and the equations of motion.
