$A$ tube of length $50\,cm$ is filled completely with an incompressible liquid of mass $250\,g$ and closed at both ends. The tube is then rotated in a horizontal plane about one of its ends with a uniform angular velocity $\omega = x \sqrt{F} \text{ rad } s^{-1}$. If $F$ is the force exerted by the liquid at the other end,then the value of $x$ will be:
