Three key concepts are discussed in the document:
1) Mechanics deals with the static and dynamic behavior of bodies under the influence of forces or torques. This includes rigid bodies, deformable bodies, and fluids.
2) A free body diagram shows all external forces acting on a particle or rigid body and is essential for writing equations of equilibrium.
3) The equilibrium of a particle in 2D involves applying equations that set the sum of forces in the x and y directions equal to zero to solve for unknown forces or angles.
