Structural Analysis of battery Pack container

[Shubhang MIttal]

As per the rulebook we have to apply a vertical load of 10g, and horizontal load of 20g.
For this calculation should the g force be according to the weight of the car or according to the weight of the battery.

I do not feel like sifting through the rulebook right now (which rulebook anyways??), but would wager that it is the weight of the battery pack. Unless, of course, your battery pack is also a structural member in your frame and/or suspension.

If you really want to know, ask the rules commitee through email. These forums are not in any way officially connected to the rules committee.
