The pumping unit is used to recover oil. When the walking beam ABC is horizontal, the force acting on wireline at the well head is 250 lb. Determine the torque M which must be exerted by the motor in order to overcome this load. The horse head C weighs 60 lb. and have center of gravity at Gc. The walking beam ABC has weight of 130 lb. and center of gravity at Gb , and the counterweight has weight of 200 lb. and center of gravity at Gw. The pitman , AD , is pin connected at the ends and has negligible weight.
