2.Springy Hoop Pendulum
+10
A uniform thin hoop of mass and radius hangs from a small fixed nail, able to swing freely in its own plane. A horizontal massless spring of spring constant connects the bottom of the hoop to a fixed vertical wall. In equilibrium, the center of the hoop is directly below the nail, and the spring is relaxed. The hoop is given a small angular displacement in its plane and released. What is the frequency of its small oscillations?
