![A vertical retaining wall of 5m height has to
support soil having unit weight of 20kN/m³,
effective cohesion of 15kN/m², and effective
friction angle of 30°. As per Rankine's earth
pressure theory and assuming that a tension
crack has occurred, the lateral active thrust on
the wall per meter length (in kN/m, round off to
two decimal places), is](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F079663d5-5e3a-45a0-b93d-9fea7725a78d%2F1c9d14f6-de25-42b0-9d67-43f22d78b65e%2F9vv6mxr_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
