1f) A concrete retaining wall is shown in side view below. A form is used to hold the concrete while it is poured and curing. The unit weight of the concrete as poured is 155 lb/ft³. Calculate the resultant force of the concrete on the form and locate the line of action. Work the problem per unit foot of length (in the direction out of the page), and use the "pressure prism" method.
