centre of mass

I am facing problem as to when and where to conserve Linear momentum of a system and where to conserve the angular momentum of a system.
can the linear momentum be conserved when angular momentum is already conserved?

When no impulse acts on system ,u can conserve linear momentum

and when no torque acts on a system ,u cna conserve angular momentum

plse tell were pure rolling will occur nd werer not???

Well think it intuitively, see when we say a body is rolling purley on a surface we say that for that body vcm=rω this is because:

imagine a sphere rolling now think abt the surface in contact if the velocity of that point with respect to the ground is zero then we can say no friction is acting(because at that point forward vlocity is rω and the backward velocity is vcm henc net = vcm+rω=0 ) hence the rolling is pure(no force is acting).
now if rω≠vcm then friction acts and will make it to roll purely..

For bodies such as rod or ring the force of gravity cannot be considered to be acting through the c.m. What to do in such a case??

who said so??? weight always acts through centre of mass...

mmm not always subhomoy.it depends on mass distribution and also on gravitational force.
