A Porter governor carries a central oad of 30 kg 0 and each ball weighs 4.5 kg. The upper links are 200 mm long while the lower links are 300 mm long. The points of suspension of the upper and lower links are 50 mm from the axis of the spindle. Working from first principles, calculate the speed of the governor in r.p.m, if the radius of rotation of governor balls is 125 mm.

Question
A Porter governor carries a central
load of 30 kg 0 and each ball weighs
4.5 kg. The upper links are 200 mm
long while the lower links are 300 mm
long. The points of suspension of the
upper and lower links are 50 mm from
the axis of the spindle. Working from
first principles, calculate the speed of
the governor in r.p.m, if the radius of
rotation of governor balls is 125 mm.
