Lateral load in one plane in a structure is resisted by four different systems:
cantilevered column, shear wall, brace frame, and moment resisting frame. The
stiffness K of each system is given in the diagram. Using the information provided,
determine how much of the 80 kip lateral load is resisted by each system.
