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 difficulty in manufacturing cam profile
Because of loose contact of follower with cam surface

Theory of Machine
The static balancing is satisfactory for low speed rotors but with increasing speeds, dynamic balancing becomes necessary. This is because, the

Unbalanced couples are caused only at higher speeds
Effects of unbalances are directly proportional to the speed
Effects of unbalances are proportional to the square of the speed
Unbalanced forces are not dangerous at higher speeds

Theory of Machine
In a steam engine, one method of obtaining the earlier cut-off with a simple slide valve is by increasing the angle of advance of the eccentric while the throw of the eccentric, steam lap and exhaust lap are kept constant. This method will

Reduce length of effective stroke of piston
Cause withdrawing or throttling of steam
All of these
Reduce maximum opening of port to steam
