Construct an activity network to show the tasks involved in widening a bridge over the B451.
  1. Find those tasks which lie on the critical path and list them in order.
  2. State the minimum length of time needed to widen the bridge.
  3. Represent the tasks on a Gantt diagram. Tasks \(F\) and \(J\) each require 3 workers, tasks \(B\), \(D\) and \(I\) each require 2 workers and the remaining tasks each require one worker.
  4. Draw a resource histogram showing how it is possible for a team of 4 workers to complete the project in the minimum possible time.
