The main engines on your vessel are fitted with speed control governors based on the operating principle shown in the illustration. What statement is true concerning the illustrated pressure-compensated governor? Illustration MO-0159

Question

Accepted Answer

With the speeder spring compression force and the flyweight centrifugal force in equilibrium, the flyweights are pivoted to vertical and the pilot valve plunger will be in the centered position blocking off the control port.

Answer

With the speeder spring compression force and the flyweight centrifugal force in equilibrium, the flyweights are pivoted outward and the pilot valve plunger will be in the lowered position aligning the control port to the drain port.

Answer

With the speeder spring compression force and the flyweight centrifugal force in equilibrium, the flyweights are pivoted inward and the pilot valve plunger will be in the raised position aligning the control port to the pressure port.

Answer

With the speeder spring compression force and the flyweight centrifugal force in equilibrium, the flyweights are pivoted to vertical and the pilot valve plunger can be positioned in any position.
