Question:
A spring controlled governor of the Hartnell type has the following data: Mass of the ball = 1.8 kg ; Mass of the sleeve = 6 kg ; Ball and sleeve arms of the bell crank lever = 150 mm and 120 mm respectively. The equilibrium speed and radius of rotation for the lowest position of the sleeve are 400 r.p.m. and 150 mm respectively. The sleeve lift is 10 mm and the change in speed for full sleeve lift is 5%. During an overhaul, the spring was compressed 2 mm more than the correct compression for the initial setting. Determine the stiffness of the spring and the new equilibrium speed for the lowest position of the sleeve.
