How it's used
Strictly refers to the load point in physics or mechanical contexts involving levers. It is not used in everyday speech to mean a main point or focus, which would be 重點 in the sense of 'important point' but with different characters or context. Learners should be careful not to confuse this technical term with the common abstract noun for 'key point'.
