Abstract
The form invariance and the conserved quantity for a weakly nonholonomic system (WNS) are studied. The WNS is a nonholonomic system (NS) whose constraint equations contain a small parameter. The differential equations of motion of the system are established. The definition and the criterion of form invariance of the system are given. The conserved quantity deduced from the form invariance is obtained. Finally, an illustrative example is shown.
