Abstract
A mechanical system consisting of two identical mathematical pendulums connected by a linear spring is considered under the assumption that the pendulum suspension points lie on a horizontal straight line and the system is in a homogeneous gravitational field. The equilibrium configurations of this mechanical system and their stability are studied. The results are represented in the form of bifurcation diagrams.
