A 9 m cantilever retaining wall is subjected to active pressure increasing from 3 kN/m at the top(free end) to 54 kN/m at the base(fixed end) per meter strip of length of wall along its longitudinal axis. If the wall were laterally supported at the free end, determine the moment at the base. For increasing triangular load FEM at the top is \( \frac{wL^2}{30}\), FEM at the base is \(\frac{wL^2}{20}\).
