Abstract
This paper deals with the analysis of a one-dimensional motion of two mass points in a resistive medium. The force of resistance is described by small non-symmetric viscous friction acting on each mass point. The magnitude of this force depends on the direction of motion. The mass points are interconnected with a kinematic constraint or with an elastic element. Using the averaging method the expressions for the stationary “on the average” velocity of the systems’s motion as a single whole is found. In case of a small degree of non-symmetry an explicit expression for the stationary “on the average” velocity of the system is derived. For the other case we obtained algebraic equations for the corresponding stationary velocity.
