A pivot joint in use can be illustrated by the movement of the neck. The neck contains several vertebrae that are connected by pivot joints, which allow the neck to rotate and move in different directions. For example, when you turn your head to the left or right, the pivot joints in your neck allow your head to rotate on your shoulders. This is an example of a pivot joint in use.

In a fishing rod, the effort load fulcrum is typically located at the point where the rod is held, often near the handle. This point acts as the pivot around which the rod bends when a force is applied to the tip, such as when reeling in a fish. The design allows for efficient leverage, enabling the angler to exert force and control the fish with minimal effort. The distribution of weight and resistance along the rod also influences its performance and sensitivity.
