Solve the previous problem except that the Geneva has eight slots.
Previous problem
A Geneva with six slots is used to operate the worktable of a dial-indexing machine. The slowest workstation on the dial-indexing machine has an operation time of 2.5 sec, so the table must be in a dwell position for this length of time.
(a) At what rotational speed must the driven member of the Geneva mechanism be turned to provide this dwell time?
(b) What is the indexing time each cycle?
