The question does not ask that .But i told a general principle.For example a simple pendulum which is oscillating in a plane.since its moving along the arc of a circle(distance from orgin is fixed) it has only one degree of freedom...theta...which is the angle dat the string makes with...

if i get generalized co-ordinates i can calculate co-ordinate velocities from it

A square is composed of many particles with the constraint that distance between every particle is the fixed.so such a square is moving in XY plane. if i consider two particles they have 4-1 =3degree of freedom(one is subtracted due to constraint that distance between particles are fixed).if...

What are the number of degrees of freedom of 1)a square sheet moving in XY plane 2)a triangular lamina moving freely in XY plane
