Cam designAs the cam rotates with some constant angular velocity, we want the follower to start from 0 and reach 1 inch height, over half the rotation (over angle 0 to pi). This motion should have constant follower velocity (thus the segment from 0 to pi is a straight line with slope dS/dtheta = 1/pi). Design the polynomial displacement function

For the slider crank mechanism below. At this instant, the input crank (4 in) is rotating counterclockwise at 1 rad/s. What will be the magnitude of the angular velocity of coupler link (6 inch) in rad/s.  (Just enter a positive number to three decimal places, no spaces, no units)
