An eccentric plate circular cam of 160 mm diameter and eccentricity 40 mm provides motion to a spring loaded follower of mass 2 kg whose axis a perpendicular to the axis of cam and passes through its center. The spring has a stiffness of 25 N/mm. It is found that at certain speed, the follower ceases contact with cam when it is rotated through 110 degrees from its lowest position. Determine this speed. If the initial compression of the spring is 32 mm, determine also the limiting speed of the cam, to avoid jump. Ignore weight of the follower.
