A particle of mass m and angular moment L moves in a central force V=(1/2)kr^2 (k>0).
Find the period of revolution for the circular movement and the period of small radial oscillations around the stable cicular orbit.
Well I tried using Langrange and then applied the conditions of a circular but I get lost. Any help would really help, especially if someone could help me distinguish the expressions for the two periods. Thanks.
