thanks for the reply Chestermiller! Thats also what i think but because there is not fixed axis or a force couple i was not really sure.

if a rigid body, let's say a disk,is floating in space and we exert a force outside its center of mass will it rotate or just start a linear move? its center of mass is free to move.sorry if my English are not so good.I hope that you understood the question
