STEP-1: - Determine effective grade for each changes.

I. For LOAD travel
CAT (773D, 775D,776D,784B,789B and 793C)

 Effective grade (E.G) = Grade % + rolling resistance %

 E. G1 = G.R% + R.R%
E. G 1 = 3.9 % + 3 %

= 6.9%

 E. G2 = G.R % + R.R%
= 1 % +3 %

=4%

 E. G3 = G.R % + R.R%
=5%+3%

=8%

II. For EMPTY LOAD travel

CAT (773D, 775D,776D,784B,789B and 793C)

 Effective grade (E.G) = Grade % + rolling resistance %

 E. G1 = G.R% + R.R%
= (-3.9 %) + 3 %
= -0.9 %
 E. G2 = G.R % + R.R%
= (-1 %) + 3 %

=2%

 E. G3 = G.R % + R.R%
= (-5 %) + 3 %

= -2 %
