🔍 Key Concepts

• Constant speed mechanical governor function (what it is trying to keep the same) • Relationship between engine load, torque, and RPM • What happens immediately vs. what happens after the governor corrects

💭 Think About

• When you suddenly add load to an engine, does it tend to speed up or slow down before any control system reacts? • If the governor’s job is to keep speed constant, does it act before or after the engine speed starts to change? • Which option best describes that very first, brief change in RPM right after the load increases?

✅ Before You Answer

• Focus on the word "initially" in the question – this is critical. • Remember that a mechanical governor reacts to a change in speed; it does not prevent the first small change. • Eliminate any answer that describes the long-term, steady-state speed, and choose the one that fits the moment just after the load is applied.
