I should also note that the final equilibrium is given by:

   h = (w^2/2g) x R^2 - 2g/( w^2 x (R1)^2)

where w is the final angular velocity of the water and tank, R1 is the drain
radius, and R is a given radius, *provided* there is enough water in the
tank initially to fill the volume under that surface.  If not then the
radius R1 is not the radius of the drain hole, but is a larger radius, and
in that case, assuming the tank is rotating at w, no water can go down the
drain at all.
