(Transportation) The relative damage done to a road’s pavement by two different single-axle vehicles can be approximated by this formula:

RD is the relative damage of vehicle 2 to vehicle 1.

W2 is the weight of vehicle 2 (lbs or N).

W1 is the weight of vehicle 1 (lbs or N).

Using this formula, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines relative damage and use it to complete the following chart. The relative damage values should be output in a field width of eight, with two digits after the decimal point.
