using the pdf as refrence Solve the following question
A series of 4-m anchor walls spaced at 5 m, are used to restrain the top of a steel sheet
pile bulkhead, is to resist a force of 75 kN/m of bulkhead. The top of the anchor wall is 2 m
below the ground surface . Factors of safety of 1.4 for tie force and 2.1 for net passive
resistance are considered. The anchor is embedded in sand soil whose angle of internal
friction is 29\deg and unit weight of 17.5 kN/m^3.(i) How high should the wall be?, and (ii) How far
behind the bulkhead should it be placed?
