Question: Given Retaining wall as shown in the figure ( not to scate ) . The foundation soll properties C = 1 , 5 0 0

Given Retaining wall as shown in the figure (not to scate).
The foundation soll properties C=1,500 prt: =0;=110 pd
The backill sail properties C=0,=33**:y=110 pd
The weights of the wall
W1=5,000lbftW1=13,200lbit,W1=2,780lbft
The active force P4=6490lbht(No need to calculate this)
Assume P,actingatH3 from the bottom.
Find * The factor of safety against overturning, Fser
The factor of safety against sliding. FS.
using Rankine theory at active situation,
Keep 3 significant figures for the results;
Show the whole process as required
Don't calculate those given.
