  1. The Total pressure on the vertical face of a retaining wall of height h exerted by the retained earth weighing w per unit volume having an angle of surcharge α°, is :

  2. A.

    wh cos  α \(\frac { cos α - \sqrt{cos^2α-cos^2\varphi} } { cos a+\sqrt{cos^2a-cos^2\varphi} } \)

    B.

    \(Wh^2\) cos a \(\frac { cos α - \sqrt{cos^2α-cos^2\varphi} } { cos a+\sqrt{cos^2a+cos^2\varphi} } \)

    C.

    \(Wh^2/2\) cos a \(\frac { cos α - \sqrt{cos^2α-cos^2\varphi} } { cos a+\sqrt{cos^2a+cos^2\varphi} } \)

    D.

    \(\frac { Wh^2} { 3 } \) cos a \(\frac { cos α - \sqrt{cos^2α-cos^2\varphi} } { cos a-\sqrt{cos^2a-cos^2\varphi} } \)
