A 10-m-high retaining wall with a vertical back face has a c' - ϕ' soil for backfill material. Properties of the backfill material are as follows: γ = 19.1 k N/m3, c' = 35.9 k N/m2, and ϕ' = 28°. Considering the existence of the tensile crack, determine the Rankine active force, Pa, per unit length of the wall.
