Spring controlled governor can be made stable by decreasing the spring stiffness. .

For a stable governor, if the equilibrium speed increases, the radius of governor balls must also increase.

A governor is said to be unstable if the radius of rotation decreases as the speed increases.

Yes, A is the right answer.

Vinay BEL said:   5 years ago
Increasing the spring stiffness is the right answer.

Ashish said:   8 years ago
A is the right answer.

Kesh said:   8 years ago
I think it is A.

Sagar vyavahare said:   8 years ago
Right Answer is A.

Sam said:   8 years ago
I agree with you @Rohit.

Neeraj said:   8 years ago
B is right because the spring controlled governor is found unstable. It can be made stable by.

Decreasing the spring stiffness. Because for stable required spring always compression so stiffness is less so spring is more in compression.

Answer become A Because, sensitively is reciprocal of stability. And stiffness is reciprocal of sensitivity.
