A simple pendulum attached to a fixed point inside a spaceship moving in a circular orbit about a planet can be in equilibrium in either 2, 3, 4, or 6 positions, of which 1, 1, 2, and 2, respectively, are stable. The number, orientation, and stability of the equilibria depend on the length of the pendulum and the location of the point of attachment relative to the center of gravity of the spacecraft.
