A vertical retaining wall of $5\:m$ height has to support soil having unit weight of $18\:kN/m^3$ , effective cohesion of $12\:kN/m^2$, and effective friction angle of $30^\circ{}$ . As per Rankine's earth pressure theory and assuming that a ... has occurred, the lateral active thrust on the wall per meter length ( in $kN/m$ , round off to two decimal places), is __________
