Task id12703

A horizontal rod is attached to the vertical axis, along which two loads with masses m1 and m2, connected by a thread of length l, can move freely. The system rotates with angular velocity w. At what distances from the axis will the weights be in equilibrium? What are the tension of the thread and the kinetic energy of the loads? Will the weights return to their equilibrium position if they are displaced a small distance from the equilibrium position?
