The retaining wall shown has a height of 6m with its ground watertable located at a depth of 2m below the ground surface. There is a surcharge of 15kN/m^2 at the top. Compute the Rankine active force on the wall per unit. Compute the location of this force from the bottom of the wall. Compute the moment due to this force.
