In this paper, a generalization of both the Kapitza and the Whitney pendulum is considered, namely a system of an inverted pendulum with a rapidly vertically oscillating pivot point in a horizontal external nonautonomous force field. The dynamics of the Kapitza-Whitney pendulum is given by \[\ddot x+\mu\dot x+(1+\ddot f(t))\sin x+h(t)\cos x=0.\] In Section 2, the main results are presented. The existence of a periodic solution without falls for the Kapitza-Whitney pendulum is proved. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for the existence of two such solutions are presented. A classical theorem on averaging on a finite interval of time [\textit{N. N. Bogoliubov} and \textit{Y. A. Mitropolsky}, Asymptotic methods in the theory of nonlinear oscillations. New York: Gordon \& Breach (1961; Zbl 0151.12201)] is used in the proof. In Section 3, the existence of stable and asymptotically stable periodic solutions without falls is shown numerically. The paper ends with conclusions and possible future research.
