What is the degree of freedom?
(N/A) The degree of freedom $(f)$ of a dynamical system is defined as the total number of independent coordinates or ways in which a system can possess energy or move without violating any constraints imposed on it.
Mathematically,for a system of $N$ particles with $k$ constraints,the degree of freedom is given by $f = 3N - k$.
