Consider a perfectly reflecting mirror oriented so that solar radiation of intensity I is incident upon, and perpendicular to, the reflective surface of the mirror. If the mirror has surface area A, what is Frad, the magnitude of the average force due to the radiation pressure of the sunlight on the mirror?
Express your answer in terms of the intensity I, the mirror's surface area A, and the speed of light c.
Frad =
To solve the second part of this problem you will need to know the following:
the mass of the sun, Msun=2.0ร1030kg, the intensity of sunlight as a function of the distance, R, from the sun,
Isun(R)=3.2ร1025WR2,
and
the gravitational constant G=6.67ร10โ11m3/(kgโ
s2).
Suppose that the mirror described in Part A is initially at rest a distance R away from the sun. What is the critical value of area density for the mirror at which the radiation pressure exactly cancels out the gravitational attraction from the sun?
Express your answer numerically, to two significant figures, in units of kilograms per meter squared.

The temperature at a point (x, y) is t(x, y), measured in degrees celsius. a bug crawls so that its position after t seconds is given by x = 6 + t , y = 8 + 1 3 t, where x and y are measured in centimeters. the temperature function satisfies tx(3, 9) = 5 and ty(3, 9) = 4. how fast is the temperature rising on the bug's path after 3 seconds? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
