The term 'levers' pivot points' refers to the fulcrum, which is a point of support that allows a lever to move. A lever is a simple machine consisting of a rigid bar that pivots around a fixed point, known as the fulcrum. The fulcrum is the point at which the lever pivots and is the point where the force is applied. The fulcrum is essential for the lever to work, as it provides the necessary support for the lever to move.
