Degree of Freedom
The degree of freedom for a dynamic system is the number of directions in which it can move freely or the number of coordinates required to describe completely the position and configuration of the system .
It is denoted by for N . Degree of freedom of a system is given by f or N = 3A – R
where A = number of particles in the system and R = number of independent relations .
