Question:

In the problem of the three coupled pendula, consider the three coupling constants as distinct, so that the potential energy may be written as with ε12, ε13, ε23 all different.


U = (0} + 03 + 03 – 28120,62 - 2€10,0, - 2e 230 20 3)

Show that no degeneracy occurs in such a system. Show also that degeneracy can occur only if ε12 = ε13 = ε23.
