Rainwater collects behind the concrete retaining wall as shown in the Figure below. The height of the water is x = 1.1 m and the soil is y = 2.5 m. The water-saturated soil (specific gravity = 2.35) acts as a fluid. Use Pwater = 1000 kg.m-3 and g = 9.81 m.s2. Water Soil y m The force (in Newton) acting on a 1 m width of the wall is: The centre of pressure of the force on the wall (in m) is:
