Explanation

The relationship between the length of a pendulum and its period is given by the equation:

$$T = 2\pi \sqrt {{L \over g}} $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\mathrm{T}^{2} = \frac{4\pi^2}{g} \cdot \mathrm{L}$$

where T is the period of the pendulum, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. This equation shows that the square of the period is directly proportional to the length of the pendulum.

Therefore, a graph of T2 vs. L will be a straight line with a positive slope, passing through the origin. The slope of the line will be equal to $$\frac{4\pi^2}{g}$$, and its intercept will be zero.

Note : Graph of T vs. L will be a parabola not T2 vs. L as in equation of parabola y2 = 4ax, graph of y vs. x is parabola not y2 vs. x. As y2 vs. x is a straight line.
