Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The function of governor is to regulate mean speed of engine when there are variations in load
Statement II: A governor is said to be hunting if the speed of engine remains constant at the mean speed
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
• C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Hint:

To distinguish between the key engine components:
- Governor \(\rightarrow\) Regulates speed over long periods due to load variations.
- Flywheel \(\rightarrow\) Regulates speed within a single cycle due to torque fluctuations.
- Hunting \(\rightarrow\) Constant oscillation of speed caused by an over-sensitive governor.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
