The displacement of a flat-faced follower when it has contact with the flank of a circular arc cam, is given by (where R = Radius of flank, r1 = Minimum radius of the cam, and θ = Angle turned through by the cam)

In the below figure, PC is the connecting rod and OC is the crank making an angle θ with the line of stroke PO and rotates with uniform angular velocity at ω rad/s. The Klien's acceleration diagram for determining the acceleration of the piston P is shown by quadrilateral C Q NO, the acceleration of the piston is zero when the crank OC and connecting rod PC are at right angles to each other.

A body of weight W is required to move up the rough inclined plane whose angle of inclination with the horizontal is α. The effort applied parallel to the plane is given by (where μ = tan φ = Coefficient of friction between the plane and the body)

The natural frequency of free transverse vibrations of a shaft fixed at both ends and carrying a uniformly distributed load is 0.571/δS , where δS is the static deflection of a shaft fixed at both ends and carrying a uniformly distributed load.
