Acircular hoop of diameter d hangs on a nail. what is the period of its oscillations at small amplitude?

m = mass of the circular hoop

r = radius of the hoop

I = moment of inertia of the hoop

moment of inertia of the hoop about the center of hoop is given as

I = m r²

k = distance of the point of suspension from center of mass = r

using parallel axis theorem

I' = moment of inertia of hoop about the point of suspension

I' = I + m k²

I' = m r² + m k²

I' = m r² + m r²

I' = 2 m r²

Time period of oscillation for the hoop is given as

T = 2π sqrt(I'/mgk)

T = 2π sqrt(2 m r²/(mgr))

T = 2π sqrt(2 r/g)

since 2r = diameter = d

T = 2π sqrt(d/g)

trig 15.3 cos

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
