Homework Statement
A point particle of mass m is confined to the frictionless surface of a spherical bowl. There are 2 degrees of freedom.
1. Prove that the equilibrium point is the bottom of the bowl. ,
2.Does the bowl need to be exactly spherical for this to be true ?
3. Near the...
Homework Statement
the question is that there is a particle in 3 spatial Euclidean dimensions in cylindrical coordinates.
I want to find a symmetry for the lagrangian if the potential energy is function of r and k.theta+z
V=V(r,k.theta+z)
