The system shown below consists of seven rigid links and is supported by three rollers (lose bearings): one at point A, allowing motion only in the horizontal direction, and two at points C and E, which allow only vertical motion. The links are connected to each other by frictionless hinges at points A, B, C, D, and E, whereas links CF and EG are, respectively, hinged to the center and circumference of a rigid disk B, which rolls without slipping and without lifting off on a horizontal ground. All links and rigid bodies are restricted to move in the 2D plane. P₁ Rolling without slipping OO AQ ΌΠΟ OF B P2 G D P3 1. How many (independent) degrees of freedom does the system have?
