Statics Chapter 1 | Particle, Rigid Body, & Concentrated Force Assumptions

In this video, we flip through Chapter 1 of Hibbeler's Engineering Mechanics Statics textbook. One of the main topics discussed is the main simplifying assumptions that we will use in statics: particle, rigid body, concentrated force.
