A rectangular block sliding down an inclined plane without any sidewise movement as shown in figure.

Its motion down the plane is such that all the particles of the body are moving together. Means they have the same velocity at any instant of time.

Such motion of rigid body is in pure translational motion.

In pure translational motion at any instant of time all particles of the body have the same velocity.

Figure shows a small wheel fixed coaxially on a bigger one of double the radius. The system rotates about the common axis. The strings supporting $A$ and $B$ do not slip on the wheels. If $x$ and $y$ be the distances travelled by $A$ and $B$ in the same time interval, then

Difference between rigid body and solid body.

In the following figure, a body of mass $m$ is tied at one end of a light string and this string is wrapped around the solid cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$. At the moment $t = 0$ the system starts moving. If the friction is negligible, angular velocity at time $t$ would be
