    Maximizing Symmetry in Lagrangian for a Particle in 3D Cylindrical Coordinates

    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) Homework Equations k is constant L=T-V...
