    This document discusses calculating the pressure exerted by a wall on the ground. It asks the reader to calculate the pressure and explain why doubling the length of the wall would not change the pressure on the ground. Doubling the length would not change the pressure because pressure depends on the total force applied by the wall divided by its base area, and doubling the length does not change the total force or base area.
