(b) Must decrease

(c) Must remain constant

(d) Equilibrium speed independent of radius of rotation

I have been asked this question in quiz.

The correct choice is (a) Must increase

For explanation I would say: In order to achieve stability in a porter governor, the equilibrium speed must increase with the increase of radius of rotation of the governor balls.
