Bar Pendulum Graph name?

Hi!
WWhen i did the Bar graph experiment, i obtained a parabolic curve on negative and positive x axes
(time period^2 vs distance from cg graph). Can anyone tell me what it's actually called, the actual name of the graph?

What exactly was your experiment? To find the period of oscillation of a bar?

 

[GabrielMoon]

To Find the value of g using bar pendulum

If you plotted T² vs L, you should get a straight line passing through the origin.

What did you plot and how does your graph look? (Can you post a picture of your graph?)

The graph is like this.

My teacher said it was named after some scientist and i can't remember his name
