Can you find two different constants by Noether's theorem

[qinglong.1397]

Homework Statement

Consider a 3-dimensional one-particle system whose potential energy in cylindrical polar coordinates $$\rho$$, $$\theta$$, z is of the form V($$\rho$$, k$$\theta$$+z), where k is a constant.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I already find a symmetric transformation:
$$\rho '$$=$$\rho$$, $$\theta '$$=$$\theta$$+$$\theta_0$$, z'=z-k$$\theta_0$$.

Can you help me find at least another one? Thank you!

No body can do it?

For starters, are you sure there is another one?

And what have you done on the problem? It is strictly against policy to just hand out answers -- it's cheating and does little to help the student learn.

I found one solution, as mentioned in the first post. I just do not know how to find the other one. I need your help. Just hint. Thanks!

This is a problem from Classical Dynamics: A contemproray approach by Jose. I think it is not very possible that it is wrong.

Ah yes... problem 3.11 by any chance? Now that you mention it, I remember doing that one for a homework assignment once upon a time and I seem to remember having the same difficulty with it.

Try thinking about symmetries in time, since you've already considered the three spatial coordinates.

Oh, yeah. I never thought about that. Thank you very much!
