    1) The document derives an equation to calculate the angle θ at which a cube loses contact with a surface as it rotates about the center of mass in a circular motion. 2) It uses conservation of energy and force balance equations, along with the fact that the center of mass moves in a circle, to relate the kinetic energy of rotation to the gravitational potential energy lost as the cube rises. 3) The final equation for θ is expressed in terms of the moment of inertia I of the solid cube about the origin, the mass m of the cube, and the acceleration a due to gravity.
