The document calculates the degrees of freedom (dof) for a system consisting of a rigid rod fixed to a massless ring on a circular track. It identifies 4 translational degrees of freedom and 2 rotational degrees of freedom, resulting in a total of 6 degrees of freedom. The analysis confirms that the rod can move in both x and y directions and can rotate in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

How many Translational and how many Rotational DOF(s) are in this sy.pdf
- 1. How many Translational and how many Rotational DOF(s) are in this system? (Total #DOF = #TransDOF + #RotDOF) A rigid rod of mass Mis fixed to a massless ring at point A. Point A is constrained to move on the fixed, frictionless circular track centered at point C and of radius R. The system moves on a smooth, horizontal surface. Solution Rod can move in +ve x and -ve x direction as well in y directions. so number of translational DOF=4, Rod can rotate in clockwise as well as in counterclockwise., so total Rotational DOF= 2.
