The mechanics of a system of particles is a branch of classical mechanics. It studies the motion of individual particles as a collective. Now, these particles may interact with each other and be subject to external forces, and that's what you learn in Class 11 Physics.
Another thing to note about the mechanics of a system of particles is that instead of tracking each particle individually, this approach simplifies complex motions by introducing the concept of the centre of mass.
The entire system with the internal motions of its components can often be described as a single point, with a mass equal to the total mass of the system,

An excellent example of pure rotational motion is the motion of the blades of a ceiling fan when it is switched on. In this type of motion, the object rotates about a fixed axis, and all particles of the object move in circles centred on that axis. Windmills and turbines also follow the same rotational mechanics.
