For studying wing vibrations, a wing of mass M and finite dimensions has been
idealized by assuming it to be supported using a linear spring of equivalent
stiffness k and a torsional spring of equivalent stiffness
k as shown in the figure.
The centre of gravity (CG) of the wing idealized as an airfoil is marked
in the figure. The number of degree(s) of freedom for this idealized wing vibration
model is _________. (Answer in integer)
