A conical pendulum is formed from a rope of length $ 0.50 \, \text{m} $ and negligible mass, which is suspended from a fixed pivot attached to the ceiling. A ping-pong ball of mass $ 3.0 \, \text{g} $ is attached to the lower end of the rope. The ball moves in a circle with constant speed in the horizontal plane and the ball goes through one revolution in $ 1.0 \, \text{s} $. How high is the ceiling in comparison to the horizontal plane in which the ball revolves? Express your answer to two significant digits, in cm. [i](Proposed by Ahaan Rungta)[/i] [hide="Clarification"] During the WOOT Contest, contestants wondered what exactly a conical pendulum looked like. Since contestants were not permitted to look up information during the contest, we posted this diagram: [asy] size(6cm); import olympiad; draw((-1,3)--(1,3)); draw(xscale(4) * scale(0.5) * unitcircle, dotted); draw(origin--(0,3), dashed); label("$h$", (0,1.5), dir(180)); draw((0,3)--(2,0)); filldraw(shift(2) * scale(0.2) * unitcircle, 1.4*grey, black); dot(origin); dot((0,3));[/asy]The question is to find $h$.

Two circles are said to be [i]orthogonal[/i] if they intersect in two points, and their tangents at either point of intersection are perpendicular. Two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ with radii $10$ and $13$, respectively, are externally tangent at point $P$. Another circle $\omega_3$ with radius $2\sqrt2$ passes through $P$ and is orthogonal to both $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$. A fourth circle $\omega_4$, orthogonal to $\omega_3$, is externally tangent to $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$. Compute the radius of $\omega_4$.
