Question: How come it seems like we find two different values for both M - C and M - B and add them together to find

How come it seems like we find two different values for both M-C and M-B and add them together to find M-C. I am
confused why there is M_C found by rf above in the picture and then (r_BA X R_B). I am confused because it feels like we are
finding M_c two differnt ways but they are two different values. Could you please explain the difference of what and why for
those two values and explain the M_A equation? I attached a cheg solution. For pulley at B:
Resultant force at B,RB={145(-cos20j+sin20k)-(215j)}N
RB={-351.25j+49.59k}N
Resultant couple at B,MB={(-215+145)(0.075)i}N-m
MB={-5.25i}N-m
For pulley at C :
Resultant force at C,Rc={(155+240)(-sin10j-cos10k)}N
Rc={-68.59j-389k}N
Resultant couple at i Thanks!
