So when the first 3 motions are used ?

At high speed the acceleration at the start become infinity at all speed so only cycloidal manner is best suited for this action.

A beam having dimensions 75x75x6000 mm using this data how can we find out the weight?

When the cam is rotating with high speed then the follower has ability to escape from above the cam to avoid it we used cycloidal follower in case of high speed.

All the first 3 motions have infinite acceleration at starting of the motion so this induces thrust which damages the cam so to avoid this we use cycloidal motion.
