# Cam drive torque
# Scope: Virtual work torque at one cam pose; derivative in length per radian.
# Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending.
# Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards.

followerForce = 100 N
slope = 10 mm
efficiency = 0.9

torque := followerForce*slope/efficiency [N*m]

check torque budget: torque <= 2 N*m

scenario alternative: followerForce = 80 N
