Transcribed Image Text:### Problem P12.4
#### Part (a)
- **Task**: Draw the influence lines for reactions \( M_A \), \( R_A \), and \( R_C \) of the beam in Figure P12.4.
#### Part (b)
- **Task**: Assuming that the span can be loaded with a 1.2 kips/ft uniform load of variable length, determine the maximum positive and negative values of the reactions.
#### Diagram Description:
- **Figure P12.4**: A structural beam is illustrated.
- The beam begins at point \( A \) and ends at point \( D \).
- Point \( A \) has two reaction components: a moment \( M_A \) and a vertical reaction \( R_A \).
- Point \( B \) contains a hinge.
- At point \( C \), there is a vertical reaction \( R_C \).
- The beam extends to point \( D \) with no additional reactions shown.
- The span from \( A \) to \( B \) is 8 feet, from \( B \) to \( C \) is 6 feet, and from \( C \) to \( D \) is 3 feet.
