Two types of conservative forces are:
1. **Gravitational Force**: This is the force of attraction between two masses, such as the Earth and an object near its surface. The work done by gravitational force on an object moving in a gravitational field is independent of the path taken and depends only on the initial and final positions.
2. **Spring Force**: This force is exerted by a compressed or stretched spring when it is displaced from its equilibrium position. The work done by a spring force also depends only on the initial and final positions of the spring and not on the path taken, following Hooke's Law.
