A stated control design
A fictional system diagram explicitly shows hydraulic pressure moving a pitch piston toward fine pitch, with a spring and counterweights acting in the opposite direction. The exercise asks only which tendency follows from releasing that pressure while the stated opposing forces remain available. A second diagram reverses the hydraulic action and uses a different opposing spring. A learner gives the same blade-direction answer for both because both labels say constant speed. The task asks why that label is insufficient and how to reason from the actual diagram. No real aircraft, ground run, feather check, emergency procedure or flight condition is supplied. The simplified diagrams deliberately omit limits and other interlocks, so the result cannot authorize a real test or predict the complete behavior of an unspecified installation.
1. What tendency follows in the first stated design?
Read the worked answer
Releasing the pressure removes its fine-pitch action, so the stated opposing forces tend to move toward coarse pitch. This follows the supplied diagram, not a universal rule.
2. Why can the second system behave differently?
Read the worked answer
The direction of hydraulic action and the opposing forces are different. Constant-speed describes the controlled variable, not one identical hydraulic architecture.
