C. $$\frac{{{{\text{t}}_{\text{o}}} + 4{{\text{t}}_{\text{m}}} + {{\text{t}}_{\text{p}}}}}{4}$$
D. $$\frac{{{{\text{t}}_{\text{o}}} + 4{{\text{t}}_{\text{m}}} + {{\text{t}}_{\text{p}}}}}{5}$$
E. $$\frac{{{{\text{t}}_{\text{o}}} + 4{{\text{t}}_{\text{m}}} + {{\text{t}}_{\text{p}}}}}{6}$$
A construction schedule is prepared after collecting
A. Number of operations
B. Output of labour
C. Output of machinery
D. All the above
A. 3.5 and $$\frac{5}{6}$$
B. 5 and $$\frac{{25}}{{36}}$$
C. 3.5 and $$\frac{{25}}{{36}}$$
D. 4 and $$\frac{5}{6}$$
Rolling resistance(R)=tension on tow cable or tractive power(P)/weight(W)
P=R*W= 30*20=600 kg
P=R*W= 40*20=800 kg
Therefore, 600-800 =-200 kg
Reduces by 200 kg
