Abstract
A study has been made of the behavior of systems consisting of two test particles joined by a spring (quadrupole mass-detector) and placed in a field of weak plane monochromatic gravitational wave. It was shown that under transverse orientation of the detector the gravitational wave acting on such system sets it into oscillatory motion at a frequency equal to the frequency at which the source of the gravitational wave oscillates. In this case the role of the driving force is played by periodic variations in the equilibrium position with time. The gravitational wave does not act on the detector when it has a longitudinal orientation.
