A mathematical connection between two physically distinct non-conservative stability problems is described. It is shown by means of the principle of complementary energy that the stability problem associated with a uniform cantilever beam subjected to a tangential force and carrying a tip mass at it

✦ Synopsis
The destabilization of the stable equilibrium of a non-conservative system under the action of an infinitesimal linear viscous friction force is considered. In the case of low friction, the necessary and sufficient conditions for stability of a system with several degrees of freedom and, as a consequence, the conditions for the existence of the destabilization effect (Ziegler's effect) are obtained. Criteria for the stability of the equilibrium of a system with two degrees of freedom, in which the friction forces take arbitrary values, are constructed. The results of the investigation are applied to the problem of the stability of a two-link mechanism on a plane, and the stability regions and Ziegler's areas are constructed in the parameoter space of the problem.
