Tutorials on Govenor

1. Both the arms of a Porter governor are 250 mm length. The mass of each fly ball is 5
kg and that of sleeve is 50 kg. The upper and lower arms are pivoted to links of 40
mm and 45 mm respectively. From the axis of rotation. The friction force on sleeve is
45 N . Determine the range of speed for extreme radii of 120mm and 150mm of
rotation.

2. Each ball of a porter governor has a mass of 12 kg and the mass of the sleeve is 25 kg.
The governor has equal arms each of 200 mm length and pivoted on the axis of
rotation. When the radius of rotation of the ball is 120mm. the sleeve begins to rise up
to 160mm at the maximum speed. Determine the:
i. Range of speed
ii. Lift of the sleeve
iii. Effort of the governor
iv. Power of the governor
