For a system with Lagrangian
$$L = {1\over 2}\left( \dot{q_1}^2 +\dot{q_2}^2\right) -\alpha q_1 -\beta q_2 $$
verify explicitly that the following quantities are constants of motion.
- $ F_1 = {1\over 2} m ( \dot{q}_1^2 + \dot{q}_2^2 ) + \alpha q_1 -\beta q_2 $
- $ F_2 = m \dot{q}_2 + \beta t $
- $ F_3 = m ( \beta \dot{q}_1- \alpha \dot{q}_1 )$
- $ F_4 = q_1 - {\alpha \over 2m} t^2 - \dot{q}_1 t $
Which of these are associated with some symmetry transformation? Are there
any more constants of motion independent of $F_1,..,F_4$? WHY?
