A concrete retaining wall is shown in the figure. The fill behind the wall has a unit weight of 100pcf whose active soil pressure may be assumed equivalent to a fluid pressure of 30psf per foot. The passive soil pressure may be assumed equivalent to a fluid pressure of 300 psf per foot. The live load surcharge behind the wall is equivalent to an additional of 2ft of fill. Unit weight of concrete is 150pcf. Consider 1 ft length of wall.Which of the following most nearly gives the total active pressure acting on the wall?

A 2-ft-diameter hemispherical plexiglass "bubble" is to be used as a special window on the side of an above-ground swimming pool. The window is to be bolted onto the vertical wall of the pool and faces outward, covering a 2-ft-diameter opening in the wall. The center of the opening is 4.1 ft below the surface. Determine the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of the force of the water on the hemisphere. (a) FH = (b) Fy= lb (outward) (down on bubble)
