One end of a uniform rope (with total mass $M$) is fixed on the edge of a cylinder. The cylinder has a radius $R$ and rotates with angular velocity $\omega$. The axis is vertical in a gravitational field. Air drag is neglected. What is the shape of the rope?

I tried to use the Euler-Lagrange equation to solve this problem but I don't know how to handle free-end boundary condition. Maybe some other method?
