5-1 The cam mechanisms are shown in figure. Cam profile is a regular circle

with a geometric centre O, and rotates around point O1 ，AC⊥BD，OO1=OA/2.

Try to draw the prime circle rp 、travel distance hC 、hD and pressure angle αC 、αD

at points C and D on cam mechanism.

5-2 There is an knife-edge cam mechanism as below. The cam rotates around

point O. Try to draw the prime circle rp, the travel distance sB and pressure
