A vertical retaining wall of 5m height has to support soil having unit weight of $18KN/m^3$, effective cohesion of $12KN/m^2$, and effective friction angle of ${30}^{\circ }$, As per Rankine's earth pressure theory and assuming that a tension crack has occured, the lateral active thrust on the wall per meter length (in KN/m, round off to two decimal places), is
