A 5 m-high smooth, vertical wall retains a granular backfill with unit weight of 18 kN/m³ and a friction angle of 35°. Find the magnitude and location of the resultant active thrust. If a 10 kPa uniform surcharge acts at the top of the backfill, find the magnitude and location of the active thrust.
