🔍 Key Concepts

• Centrifugal governor basic action when engine speed increases or decreases • Relationship between engine load, engine speed, and flyweight position • Role of the spring in a spring-loaded flyweight governor

💭 Think About

• When load on an engine is suddenly reduced, what happens first to engine speed, before the governor has time to correct fuel supply? • If engine speed changes, how does that immediately affect the balance between centrifugal force on the flyweights and the force of the governor spring? • Which of the answer choices represents something that reacts instantly to a change in rotational speed in a centrifugal device?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on how centrifugal force varies with rotational speed (proportional to speed squared). • Distinguish between things that change mechanically and immediately (due to speed) versus things that change later as a result of governor action (like torque or oil pressure). • Make sure the option you pick is the one that responds directly to speed change, not a secondary effect.
