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? Thanks!
