Problem 1 The McConnell Drive bridge is a three-span continuous steel girder bridge. A photograph, looking west at the east elevation, is shown. Determine all internal member forces - axial(N), shear(V), and moment(M) - Draw a free-body diagram (you choose what side of cut) - Write equations of equilibrium - Solve for unknowns

Even if you didn't finish, which of the following principles would/did you use to solve this problem?
a. The sum of all forces on object, part, and particle is zero. ZF =0
b. The internal shear in a bending member is the integral of the external loading and the internal moment is the integral
of the shear. V = Jw-dx and M = SV-dx
c. The force applied to an object is the product of its mass and acceleration. F= m-a
d. The load effect caused by two or more loadings is equal to the sum of the load effects caused by each individual
loading F(x1+x2) = F(x1) + F(x2)
In 2-3 sentences, explain your selection.
