The number of degrees of freedom in a planar mechanism having n links and j simple hinge joints is?

Question

A degree of freedom is determined by the relationship between the number of links (n), lower pairs (j), and higher pairs (h). the case of a planar mechanism.     F   =   3   (   n   &amp;#x2212;   1   )   &amp;#x2212;   2   j   &amp;#x2212;   h   Here, no higher pair, so    h   =   0      F   =   3   (   n   &amp;#x2212;   1   )   &amp;#x2212;   2   j
