Hello dear student,
In general,a rigid bodyin aplanehas three degrees of freedom. Kinematic pairs areconstraintsonrigid bodiesthat reduce the degrees of freedom of a mechanism. Figure 4-11 shows the three kinds of pairs in planar mechanisms. These pairs reduce the number of the degrees of freedom.
Thank you
