quantum mechanics - Coupled Harmonic Oscillator - Solve by diagonalization



I have a problem where I have two massive Particles $M$ and one particle with mass $m

This probably means to switch to new coordinates \begin{equation} y_1 = -q_1+q_2\\ y_2 = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}q_1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}q_2+q_3\\ y_3 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}q_1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}q_2+q_3 \end{equation}


But what do I do with the momentum operators. They should change accordingly but I am confused as to how exactly

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
