If the controlling force line for a spring controlled governor when produced intersects the Y-axis at the origin, then the governor is said to be

A stable
B unstable
C isochronous
D none of the mentioned

Correct Answer: isochronous

If the controlling force line for a spring controlled governor when produced intersects the Y-axis at the origin, then the governor is said to be isochronous. A spring controlled governor is said to be stable if the controlling force line when produced intersects the Y-axis below the origin. If the controlling force line for a spring controlled governor when produced intersects the Y-axis at the origin, then the governor is said to be unstable.
