The distance between all pairs of particles of system (body) do not change then this body is known as rigid body.

Rigid body is a special case of system of particles.

A rigid body is an ideal concept while solved body is a real.

Rigid body is a body with a perfectly definite and unchanging shape. A solid body can be deformed while a rigid body cannot. For many particle purposes a solid body can be treated as a rigid body.

For example : Wheel, tops, steel beams, molecules and planets. For a body it can be ignore that they warp, bend or vibrate and treat them as rigid.

$A$ block of mass $m$ is attached to a pulley disc of equal mass $m$, radius $r$ by means of a slack string as shown. The pulley is hinged about its centre on a horizontal table and the block is projected with an initial velocity of $5\, m/s$. Its velocity when the string becomes taut will be

There is a rod of lenght $l$, mass $m$ lying on a fixed horizontal smooth table. A cord is led through a pulley, and its horizontal part is attached to one end of the rod, while its vertical part is attached to a block of mass $m_1$.  Assume pulley and the cord is ideal. The maximum possible acceleration of the rod's centre of mass $C$ (for all possible values of masses $m$ and $m_1$) at the moment of releasing the block $m_1$ is $\frac{g}{n}$.  Find the value of $n$
