Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

**Matrix Transposition Calculation**

Given the matrices and , the task is to calculate the product of their transposes, . This requires finding the transpose of each matrix individually and then multiplying them.

**Step 1: Calculation**

The transpose of matrix , denoted as , is found by switching the rows and columns of .



**Step 2: Calculation**

Similarly, the transpose of matrix , denoted as , is found by switching the rows and columns of . Note that is a symmetric matrix, so its transpose is itself.



**Step 3: Product**

Now, multiply the transpose matrices and in that order.



Performing the matrix multiplication:







**Final Matrix**

The calculated matrix for is .

A retaining wall of height 10 m with clay backfill is shown in the figure (not to scale). Weight of the retaining wall is 5000 kN per m acting at 3.3 m from the toe of the retaining wall. The interface friction angle between base of the retaining wall and the base soil is 20^ . The depth of clay in front of the retaining wall is 2.0 m. The properties of the clay backfill and the clay placed in front of the retaining wall are the same. Assume that the tension crack is filled with water. Use Rankine's earth pressure theory. Take unit weight of water, γ_w = 9.81 kN/m ^3 . ![image](https://cdn.prepp.in/uploads/production/images/content/2026_01_22/image_1d0de8a21769109336565.png) The factor of safety (round off to two decimal places) against sliding failure of the retaining wall after ignoring the passive earth pressure will be ________
