How do you calculate the overturning moment for each story of the building in Excel. Suppose we have a 5 story building that is 50 feet tall and each floor is 10 foot high. The force on the 5th floor is 10 kips, on the 4th floor it's 8 kips, on the 3rd floor it's 6 kips, on the 2nd floor it's 4 kips and on the first floor it's 2 kips. Is there a routine you can use in Excel that will calculate this without much effort.
