Determine the pressure that a concrete wall 15 meters high produces on the foundation, the concrete density is 2200 kg per m3.

Initial data: h (concrete wall height) = 15 m.
Reference values: g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.81 m / s2 ≈ 10 m / s2; by condition, we take ρb (concrete density) = 2200 kg / m3.
Let us derive a formula for calculating the pressure produced by the mass of a concrete wall: P = Fт / S = m * g / S = ρb * V * g / S = ρb * S * h * g / S = ρb * h * g.
Let’s calculate the pressure: P = 2200 * 15 * 10 = 330,000 Pa (330 kPa).
Answer: The mass of the concrete wall creates a pressure of 330 kPa on the foundation.
