# Cam-follower force
# Scope: Follower force at a supplied acceleration; sign and contact need checking.
# Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending.
# Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards.

mass = 0.2 kg
acceleration = 10 m/s^2
spring = 20 N

force := mass*acceleration+spring [N]

check contact remains compressive: force > 0 N

scenario alternative: mass = 0.16 kg
