flexural strengtI p., but with outside diameter D1 and inside diameter 0·5 D. Compare the weight of both beams for flexural strength, if they are supported over same span.

The total sleeve 1movement in a spring controlled Hartnell governor is
30 mm. The mas.. of rotating balls is 1 ·4 kg each. At the mid.:position of
the sleeve, the slreve arm, which is 65 mm long, is horizontal. The ball
arm is 75 mm long. The balls rotate at a radius of 100 mm when the
sleeve is at mid-position. Due to the wrong adjustment of spring, the top
speed of the governor is 422 rpm and that corresponding to the lower
position is rpip. Determine
A simply supported circular beam of diameter D is subjected to a load of
the stiffnes$ of the spring, and
the required initial compression of. the spring to give an I equilibriumspeed at the topmost pos ition which is 12 rpm more
than at the lowest position, if the sleeve mass is neglected. Neglect the effect of obliquity of arms. 20
