Compute the horizontal displacement of joint \(B\) in Figure P7.28.

The moment diagram produced by the 12-kip load is given. The base of the columns at points \(A\) and \(E\) may be treated as fixed supports. Begin by sketching the deflected shape, using the moment diagrams to establish the curvature of members. Moments in units of kip \(\cdot\) ft.
