Thanks man, I wonder why the force over the gradient of the circle translates proportionally into a practically perfect parabola? I will have to do some more investigating! Thanks again for your reply.

Here is a picture of the curve Hyperbole, Parabola, or a section of ellipse I can't tell the difference

I got the points off of a curve that developed due to the the apparent force of gravity pushing a sphere down on a table...I can't tell if it is hyperbolic or parabolic...or maybe a section of an ellipse(if that's even different)...I have seen the curve and I am guessing it is a parabola but I...

I was doing some simple physics with a ball resting on a table and I made this curve (0,0) (25, 6.8) (50, 27.51) (75, 63.4) (100, 112.34) (125, 175.7) (150, 253.3) (175, 345.4) I was wondering if anyone could identify what sort of curve it is? I am just curious. This is not a homework...
