A Porter governor has equal arms each of length 250 mm and pivoted on the axis of rotation. Each ball has a mass of 5 kg and the central load has a mass on the sleeve of 25 kg. The radius of rotation of the ball is 150 mm when the governor begins to lift and 200 mm when the governor is at maximum speed. Considering friction at the sleeve of 10N, find the power of the governor in N-m

A Pickering governor is driving a gramophone. Each disc attached to the centre of a leaf spring has a mass of 20 g. The width of each spring is 5 mm and thickness of 0.125 mm. The effective length of each spring is 40 mm. The distance from the spindle axis to the centre of gravity of the mass when the governor is at rest, is 10 mm. Find the speed of the governor in rpm when the sleeve has risen to a height of 0.8 mm. (E = 210kN/mm^2)

The crank-pin circle radius of a horizontal engine is 300 mm. The mass of the reciprocating parts is 250 kg. When the crank has travelled 30° from T.D.C., the difference between the driving and the back pressures is 0.45 N/mm^2. The connecting rod length between centres is 1.2 m and the cylinder bore is 0.5 m. If the engine runs at 250 r.p.m. and if the effect of piston rod diameter is neglected, calculate the net load on piston.
