The figure shows a vertical retaining wall with backfill consisting of cohesive-frictional soil and a failure plane developed due to passive earth pressure. The forces acting on the failure wedge are: $P$ as the reaction force between the wall and the soil, $R$ as the reaction force on the failure plane, $C$ as the cohesive force along the failure plane and $W$ as the weight of the failure wedge. Assuming that there is no adhesion between the wall and the wedge, identify the most appropriate force polygon for the wedge.
