SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept of torque and the distinction between internal and external forces in physics. It emphasizes that the classification of a force as internal or external is contingent upon the system being analyzed. Specifically, the internal force F12, generated by joint 1, raises questions about its ability to create torque, highlighting the importance of defining the system in question to understand the mechanics involved.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of basic physics concepts, particularly torque and forces.
