Y=y_(cm) =y of center of mass?
$${Y}={y}_{{cm}} ={y}\:{of}\:{center}\:{of}\:{mass}? \\ $$

yes sir.

great! we can get the equilibrium  position also through (dY/ds), i.e. the  com is lowest (or highest).

T is only dependent from the length  of the rod, not from the shape of   parabola (parameter a). this is  due to SA⊥SC and therefore SC=(b/2).   the oscillations of the rod in a   parabolic cup of any shape are always  the same as of following compound  pendulum whose period is  T=2π(√(I/(mgL)))  I=((mb^2 )/3), L=(b/2)
