Abstract
This paper describes some possible equilibrium configurations of a string rotating in a certain class of force fields, which have properties motivated by the inverse square gravitational force. Specifically it is shown that for a given number n, there exists a sufficient rotational rate such that any equilibrium configuration with no more than n zeros is guaranteed to exist for any force field in the class considered.
