  1. Consider a rotating disk cam and a translating roller follower with zero offset. Which one of the following pitch curves, parameterized by t, lying in the interval 0 to 2π, is associated with the maximum translation of the follower during one full rotation of the cam rotating about the center at (x, y) = (0, 0)?
    1. x(t) = cost, y(t) = sint
    2. x(t) = cost, y(t) = 2 sint
    3. x(t) =
      1
      + cost , y(t) = 2sint
      2

    4. x(t) =
      1
      + cost , y(t) = sint
      2

Correct Option: C

From all the four options the maximum amplitudes is in point ‘C’ as t = 0.
(x)t = 0 (y)t = 0
(a) x = 1 y = 0
(b) x = 1 y = 0

(c) x =
3
, y = 0
2

(d) x =
3
, y = 0
2

Option ‘c’ has maximum net amplitude.
