I need to design a cam based on the following math problem: A non-linear force f(n) is working on a lever that is x + x' long (x+x'=constant). I need an equation for the ratio, x/x', such that the counter-balancing force, f', is constant (non-varying).
By varying the ratio of f(n) to f', that is ratio=x/x', I should be able to find an equation describing the ratio (r) that provides a non-varying output force f'. The distance that f(n) works through is the same as the distance that f' works through, so work in = work out.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I don't know quite how to approach this problem.
I hope the attached jpeg expalins the problem in enough detail
