What is the name of...

In oscillation experiments there is a point you are meant to use as a reference point when doing a pendulum experiment. This is so you know where the centre point is so you can measure the angle when you allow the pendulum to swing. The name begins with an F but I cannot remember what it is...something point.

If you know please tell me! Thanks :biggrin:
