Please solve and show all steps!!!
A bridge is supported by a pin and rollers at A, C, F, and G. Joints D and E are hinges. Location \( B \) is at the midpoint of span \( A C \).
A.(15 points) Sketch the influence line for moment at location B.
B.(10 points) Use the influence line for moment at location B to determine the extreme bounds of positive and negative moment (using the typical beam sign convention with positive moment causing compression in the top of the beam) that could be induced by a live load of \(\mathbf{0.75}\mathbf{~ k i p s ~ / ~ f t . ~ ( N o t e ~ t h a t ~ l i v e ~ l o a d s ~ m a y ~ b e ~}\) placed anywhere on the structure.) Sketch the loading pattern that corresponds to your value for each case.
C.(Extra Credit: +5 points) What is the maximum moment (in units of k - ft ) that will develop on span FG when subjected to an H20-44 truck? (see below, and note that axle spacing is 14 ft .)
