"The standard rule for the past tense of hang is this: in almost all situations, you should use the word hung.
I hung a picture of Noah Webster on the wall. After school, she hung out in the library.
Use hanged when referring to a person being suspended by a rope around the neck until dead."

Merriam - Webster
