Q

A continuous fluctuation of the speed, due to over control by the governor, is known as __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Engine governor control and how it responds to load changes • Difference between steady-state speed error and rapid back-and-forth corrections • Terms used to describe overshoot and oscillation in control systems

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens when a governor keeps correcting too much and too quickly for small speed changes. What does the engine speed trace look like on a graph? • Which term describes a continuous oscillation of speed around the desired RPM, rather than a one-time shift or offset? • Which choice refers to a problem or behavior of the system, and which refer more to design characteristics or settings of the governor?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which term is associated with oscillating or cycling RPM instead of a fixed speed difference from the set point • Separate the options that describe governor qualities (how it reacts to change) from the one that describes an undesirable oscillation • Make sure the term you pick matches the phrase continuous fluctuation of the speed due to over control — not just high responsiveness or accuracy
