    Abstract
    The problem of the existence and stability of relative equilibria (libration points) of a uniformly rotating gravitating body, which is a homogeneous ball with a spherical cavity, is considered. It is assumed that the rotation is carried out around an axis perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the body and passing through its center of mass. The libration points located inside the cavity are investigated. Families of both isolated and nonisolated relative equilibria are found. Their stability and bifurcations are investigated. Realms of possible motion are constructed.
    Keywords: celestial bodies with cavities, libration points, relative equilibria, motion in a noncentral gravitational field, gravitating dumbbell

    Abstract
    Examples of mechanical systems subjected to unilateral holonomic constraints are considered. It is assumed that the boundary of the area of unconstrained motion has singularities. Possible ways of resolving the singularities based on knowledge about the mechanical origin of the constraints are indicated.
    Keywords: mechanical systems subjected to constraints, unilateral holonomic constraints, unilateral constraints with singularities at boundaries, realization of unilateral holonomic constraints
