2. Your head of powertrain has found a battery cell with excellent specifications and yet cheap. He decides upon a 142s2p accumulator configuration using the cells with a capacity of 5.8 Ah. The manufacturer specifies an internal impedance of 1.5 mOhm. However, after a while you notice the cells are of horrible quality and their real capacity varies significantly leading to an unbalanced accumulator.

He performed experiements to find an approximation of the cells SoC relation to their open-circuit voltage (EMF) as shown in the following figure:

Assume due to imbalance, exactly half of the accumulators cells are at 40% SoC and half at 80% SoC. What current will be drawn at the maximum allowed power usage? Give answer in Amps to nearest whole number

• efficiency of 80% (Motor)

How far can you drive with one load? Give answer to nearest whol number in km.

1.

2. Calculate the Normal force on the rear left tyre during the first skidpad lap. You can assume, that your vehicle is in a steady-state condition and that there is no longitudinal acceleration. Further it can be assumed, that all 4 wheels have a lateral grip coefficient of 1.4. You can use the centerline radius stated in the rules. Following information regarding the vehicle are given. Give answer to nearest whole number in Newtons.

m = 220 kg

Cl = 3.8

A = 1 m^2

Rho = 1.1 kg/m^3

Wheelbase: L = 1.53

Trackwidth:t = 1.2 m

8. During last year acceleration a top speed of 100 km/h was reached. Due to big improvements in the new drivetrain, the new vehicle reaches a top speed of 120 km/h. The aerodynamics chief has some worries about the stability of the rear wing bracing due to the higher aerodynamics load. Given the geometry below, by how much % does the bearing force in point A change in comparison to last year? (The aerodynamic package did not change and therefore some values can be assumed for both vehicles). Give answer rounded to one decimal place.
