The equation of the free surface isy=2gω2r2​+y0​
Whenthe free surface touches the brim of the cylinder, the lowest point of the paraboloid is at a heightH/3above the base. When the lowest point of the free surface touches the base of the cylinder, the height of water in the tank must beH/2. It means that water must spill out.
