A governor is said to be isochronous when the equilibrium speed is

(a) variable for different radii of rotation of governor balls

(b) constant for all radii of rotation of the balls within the working range

(c) constant for particular radii of rotation of governor balls

(d) constant for only one radius of rotation of governor balls

I got this question in an interview.

This key question is from Wilson-Hartnell and Pickering Governor topic in section Governors of Machine Dynamics

Right option is (b) constant for all radii of rotation of the balls within the working range

The best explanation: Isochronism in governor means constant equilibrium speed for all the radii of rotation.
