Theory of Machine
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 CQNO, the acceleration of the piston is _________ when the crank OC and connecting rod PC are at right angles to each other.

Any +ve value
Infinity
Any -ve value
Zero

Theory of Machine
In a cam drive with uniform velocity follower, the sharp corners of the displacement diagram are rounded off at the beginning and at the end of each stroke. This is done

Because the uniform velocity motion is a partial parabolic motion
In order to have acceleration in beginning and retardation at the end of stroke within the finite limits
Because of loose contact of follower with cam surface
Because of difficulty in manufacturing cam profile
