Question: 4 ( 2 5 % ) - For the two story - building shown ( Figure P - 4 ) , determine frequencies and mode

4(25%)- For the two story-building shown (Figure P-4), determine frequencies and mode shapes (assume unity for second DOF/floor). Note differences in stiffness, k, and mass, m, of each floor/story. When k=100kipsin and the frequency of the applied loads is equal to 85% of 1 the maximum modal responses are equal to 2.0 and 0.02 in the first and second mode, respectively. Determine the amplitude of the exciting forces (i.e.,F1 and F2)?
