(i) linear motion.
(ii) rotational motion, in a body.
(i) linear motion.
(ii) rotational motion, in a body.

Answer
(i) If a rigid body is free to move, the applied force will cause translational motion.
(ii) If a rigid body moves around a center or is pivoted at a point, the applied force will cause rotational motion.
(ii) If a rigid body moves around a center or is pivoted at a point, the applied force will cause rotational motion.
