Ql: The viscosity in industrial measurement continue to use the CGS system of
Lunits, since centimeters and grams vield convenient numbers for many fluids. The
absolute viscosity () unit is the poise, I poise = 1 gtem. s). The kinematic viscosity
(v) unit is the stohes, I stokes = 1 em /s. Water at 20C has u = 001 poise and also
V= 0.01 stokes. Express these resalts in (a) SI and (h) BG tanits.

The pumpjack is driven by a motor attached to crank OA. A constant torque T' is applied to the crank and the crank rotates at a constant angular velocity wOA. A force P is applied vertically downwards at the end of the walking beam BD, which has its centre of mass at point G. To design the mechanism, a careful kinematic analysis of the mechanism needs to be conducted. To avoid mechanical failure and to provide adequate support to the mechanism, the engineer needs to analyse the reaction forces in the joints.
