Use Rayleigh's method to solve Problem 2.26.

Data From Problem 2.26:-

A mass \(m\) is attached to a cord that is under a tension \(T\), as shown in Fig. 2.67. Assuming that \(T\) remains unchanged when the mass is displaced normal to the cord,

(a) write the differential equation of motion for small transverse vibrations and

(b) find the natural frequency of vibration.
