Peripheral Speed of Projection of Point P' (Projection of Point P on Dia) for SHM of Follower

LaTeX Go Peripheral Speed = (pi*Stroke of Follower*Angular Velocity of Cam)/(2*Angular Displacement of Cam during Out Stroke)

Peripheral Speed of Projection of Point P on Diameter for SHM of Follower

LaTeX Go Peripheral Speed = (pi*Stroke of Follower)/(2*Time Required for the Outstroke)

Time Required for Out Stroke of Follower when Follower Moves with SHM

LaTeX Go Time Required for the Outstroke = Angular Displacement of Cam during Out Stroke/Angular Velocity of Cam

Mean Velocity of Follower during Return Stroke at Uniform Acceleration

LaTeX Go Mean Velocity = Stroke of Follower/Time Required for the Return Stroke
