I ended up calculating the change in potential energy of the CM from its highest point to when the cube impacts the ground. From this I was able to find the angular velocity of the "inverted pendulum" so to speak. Thanks for the response.

I am attempting to find the angular velocity of a 3D box that is balanced on one of its corners and allowed to fall under the force of gravity alone at the instant the box impacts. Take the simplest case for example where the box is square on all sides and falls in a way that results in one of...
