Homework Statement
Consider this question:
"A uniform thin flat isolated disc is floating in space. It has radius R and mass m. A force F is applied to it at a distance ##d=\frac {R}{2}## from the centre of the disc. So,
Will the disc rotate with accelerating in the direction of force or it won't rotate and will accelerate only?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I think it won't rotate. If it will then it's not clear which point is chosen as the centre of rotation. If it is the centre of the disc, then why is it chosen? I am confused about this thing.
