A large roll of paper having a mass of 20 kg and a radius r = 150 mm is resting over the edge of a corner, such that the end of the paper on the roll is attached to the horizontal surface. If the roll is disturbed slightly from its equilibrium position, determine the angle θ at which it begins to leap off the corner A as it falls. The radius of gyration of the roll is k_G = 75 mm.
