    0.124 m

    Explanation:

    the period of a simple pendulum with a small amplitude is given as

    T = 2π [√ (I/mgd) ]

    From the above stated formula,

    I = moment of inertia

    m = mass of the pendulum

    g = acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²

    d = distance from rotation axis due to center of gravity

    Also, moment of Inertia, I = 2mr², if we substitute this in the above formula, we have

    T = 2π [√ (2mr²/mgd) ]

    If we assume that our r = d, then we have

    T = 2π [√ (2r/g) ]

    If we make r the subject of the formula in the above equation, we get

    r = gT² / 8π²

    r = (9.8 * 1²) / 8 * π²

    r = 9.8 / 78.98

    r = 0.124 m

    Thus, the radius of the hoop is 0.124 m
