The present paper deals with the spectral and the oscillation properties of a linear pencil A-λB. Here A and B are linear operators generated by the differential expressions (py")" and -y"+ cry, respectively. In particular, it is shown that the negative eigenvalues of this problem are simple and the corresponding eigenfunctions y-n have n-1 zeros in (0,1).
