nds: v isvelocity in feet per second; g is acceleration due to gravity; and r isradius in feet. From the above equation it is seen that force variesinversely as the radius. While the pendulum is revolving, centrifugal force acts hori-zontally outward and tends to make the balls fly from the… … Fig. 86. Diagrama Showing Action of Pendulum Governor the weight of the balls multiplied by their distance from the centermust equal the centrifugal force multiplied by the height, or WXr = FXhfrom which h__W_r ~ F Substituting value of F just given, we have h Wr ~WV Therefore, h=-- V Now since v,…
