In a governor of the Hartnell type the arms of the bell-crank levers are equal in length, and those carrying the operating masses are vertical when the governor is rotating at its mean speed of 775 rev/min, with the masses moving in a circle of 175 mm diameter - The usual central controlling spring is replaced by two parallel tension springs direetly connecting the operating masses. Find (a) the magnitude of each operating mass if a force of 90 N is required at the sleeve to maintain it in the mean speed position when the specd is increased from 775 to 800 rev/m in (b) the stiffness, or rate, of each spring if the ratio of sleeve movement to increase of speed is 1 mm to 10 revImin when in the mean speed position.
