can an object be in pure translation as well as in pure rotation?
can an object be in pure translation as well as in pure rotation?
Solution and Explanation
No, an object cannot be in pure translation as well as in pure rotation at the same time. Pure translation means the object is moving in a straight line without any rotation, while pure rotation means the object is rotating about a fixed axis without any translational motion. These two types of motion are mutually exclusive, and an object can only have one type of motion at a time.

Two circular discs of radius \(10\) cm each are joined at their centres by a rod, as shown in the figure. The length of the rod is \(30\) cm and its mass is \(600\) g. The mass of each disc is also \(600\) g. If the applied torque between the two discs is \(43\times10^{-7}\) dyne·cm, then the angular acceleration of the system about the given axis \(AB\) is ________ rad s\(^{-2}\).
