A Porter governor has a minimum speed of 134 rpm and a range of speed of 21 rpm. All four arms of the governor are equal in length, and each is equal to 250 m. The ball mass and the central mass loaded on the sleeve are 5 kg and 15 kg, respectively. Calculate the angle between the two upper arms of the governor when the governor starts to lift and when the governor is at maximum.
