Reply to comment by Old_comfy_shoes in If I had two cups of water, one normal size and one as big as a swimming pool and stirred them both with proportionally sized spoons, would the larger pool of water keep spiraling longer than the smaller? by r3volc

So by rotational rate i mean the angular velocity, ie. degrees per second, RPM, not the tangential velocity.

I guess I would stir a cup of about 1 revolution per second, so I'm imagining that if you stir the swimming pool cup at 1 revolution per second, the water's going pretty damn fast at the edge!
