Two rods, OA and OB (Fig. 61), are located at an angle a to the vertical axis OO. The axle and rods are located in the same plane. Each rod is fitted with a coupling of mass M. The couplings are connected by a spring and are at the same height. The system rotates with a constant angular velocity w around the axis OO,. Determine the equilibrium position of the couplings (value H). Ignore friction. The length of the spring in the undeformed state is equal to l0. The ratio of the force F deforming the spring to the change l - l0 of its length l is constant and equal to k.
