the pivotprecedes the weight, hence, while the disc in each case is revolvingclockwise, the effects of the tangential force are opposite. If thespeed of 3 is increased, the inertia of the weight produces a force,acting in the direction WB, which tends to increase the radius OW;whereas if the disc… … d a.. a oO d 6 9 pq-d o REVOLUTION CONTROL. 347 w The amount of this tangential force is equal to —Xthe tan-gential acceleration, and its moment is equal to the product of theabove force and its lever-arm CA. Theoretical calculations givean approximation to required quantities, but the final…
