What is a degree of freedom in the context of kinematics?
Minimum dependent coordinates to
describe the configuration
Maximum independent coordinates to
describe the configuration
Maximum dependent variables specified to describe the configuration
Minimum independent variables specified to fix the configuration
Minimum independent variables specified to fix the configuration
Degree of freedom is the number of
independent relative motion (both transitional and rotational) that a rigid
body can move.
Or we can say, it is minimum
independent variable specified to fix the configuration.
Hence, the correct option is (D).
&Key Points:-
A rigid body in space can have
maximum6 degree of freedom.
DOF = 6 – Number of restraints.
