Conservative Forces and SHO

Conservative Forces and SHO: In this lecture, Professor Lewin displays how the conservation of mechanical energy can be used to derive the equation of motion for simple harmonic oscillators (SHO). In doing so he covers gravitational potential energy, equilibrium points where the net force is zero, parabolic potential energy, and circular potential energy.
