In mechanics, "degrees of freedom" refers to the number of independent parameters or coordinates needed to uniquely define the configuration or position of a mechanical system. It essentially describes the number of ways a system can move or be arranged in space. In general, the degrees of freedom (DOF) can be determined based on the following factors: 1. **Translational Motion**: In three-dimensional space, a rigid body can move independently along three axes (x, y, and z).
