A homogeneous gravity retaining wall supporting a cohesionless backfill is shown in the figure. The lateral active earth pressure at the bottom of the wall is 40 kPa.
The minimum weight of the wall (expressed in kN per m length) required to prevent it from overturning about its toe (Point P) is
Correct : a
