- The arms of aHartnell governor are of equal length. At the mid-position of the sleeve, the ball arm isvertical and the radius at which the ball rotates is 10 cm when the equilibrium speed is 400RPM. On changing the speed by 1% the governor can overcome the friction at this position.The friction force is assumed to have a constant value of 20 N at the sleeve.

Ifthe mass of the flywheel is 1000 kg and the total fluctuation of speed doesnot exceed 3% of the mean speed, find the minimum value of the radius ofgyration.arrow_forwardThe compressor shown has a mass of 250 kg and operates at 2000 rpm. At this operating condition, the force transmitted to the ground is excessively high and is found to be mrw2f. where mr is the unbalance and wf is the forcing frequency. To fix this problem, it is proposed to isolate the compressor by mounting it on a square concrete block separated from the rest of the floor as shown. The density of concrete is 2400 kg/m3 and the spring constant for the soil is found to be 80 × 106 N/m. The geometry of the compressor leads to choosing a block that is 1.5 m by 1.5 m. Determine the depth h that will reduce the force transmitted to the ground by 75 percent.arrow_forward
