Answer: B – (N1 – N2)/N
The sensitiveness of a governor is given by (N1 – N2)/N.
Solution:- Governor is the feedback control device in a mechanical system
- The working principle of the governor is based on the change in rotational speed
- The sensitivity of the governor is defined as the maximum changes in the speed to its mean equilibrium speed
- Maximum changes in speed = Maximum speed – Minimum speed
= N1 – N2
Sensitivity of governor = (N1 – N2)/N
