Dec 11 at 16:25	comment	added	jalex		A block resting on one corner only has three possible rotation angles. The body is free to rotate about this point. So you cannot simply predict the angle in the future with algebra, as you need a simulation to find the future state.

Dec 11 at 16:13	comment	added	jalex		Is the object at rest or moving, and is there only one contact point?
Dec 11 at 16:12	comment	added	jalex		Torque due to a force is always calculated with $$ \vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{ F }$$ where $\times $ is the vector cross product.
