Total pressure on the vertical face of a retaining wall of height ‘h’ per unit run exerted by the retained earth weighing ‘w’ per unit volume, is
A. $${\text{wh}}\frac{{\left( {1 - \sin \varphi } \right)}}{{\left( {1 + \sin \varphi } \right)}}$$
B. $${\text{w}}{{\text{h}}^2}\frac{{\left( {1 - \sin \varphi } \right)}}{{\left( {1 + \sin \varphi } \right)}}$$
C. $$\frac{{{\text{w}}{{\text{h}}^2}\left( {1 - \sin \varphi } \right)}}{{2\left( {1 + \sin \varphi } \right)}}$$
D. $$\frac{{{\text{w}}{{\text{h}}^2}\left( {1 - \sin \varphi } \right)}}{{3\left( {1 + \sin \varphi } \right)}}$$
