Further to your equation, will include the pavement conditions. Ex: Good old solid conrete, in cold weather at JFk and you'll need little thrust to get things moving. On the other hand, the cheap crap that was used in Bangkok with the much higher tempuratures, and the airplane sinks like a leaky old boat. Hence, damb near need TOGA just to break into a slow taxi.
