A homogeneous cube of sides l is initially at rest in unstable equilibrium with one edge in contact with a horizontal plane. The cube is given a small angular displacement and allowed to fall. What is the angular velocity of the cube when one face contacts the plane if:

(a) the edge in contact with the plane cannot slide?


(b) the plane is frictionless so the edge can slide?
