According to my book(mechanics of materials) the definition for concentrated load is when the area of contact of one body is small in comparison to the total area of the other body. So, small area in contact with big area equals concentrated load, but was watching an example on you tube that confused me. He was saying that when the foot touch the ground when walking it received a distributed load from the ground on the foot. Why? Area of foot < area ground
Thanks
