Vertical Circle , Centrifugal Force

In an atomic clothe drier , a hollow cylinder moves the clothe on a vertical circle (radius r = 0.31 m ) , as the drawing shows at “click here” . The appliance is designed so that the clothes tumble gently as the dry . This means that when a piece of clothing reaches an angle of theta above the horizontal , it loses contact with the wall cylinder and falls onto the clothes below . How many revolutions per second should the cylinder make in order that the clothes lose contact with the wall when theta = 66.0 degree ?
