Chapter 22, Problem 22.56(choose chapter or problem)
The radiation pressure (Section 226) created by electromagnetic waves might someday be used to power spacecraft through the use of a solar sail, Example 226. (a) Assuming total reflection, what would be the pressure on a solar sail located at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth (where )? (b) Suppose the sail material has a mass of What would be the acceleration of the sail due to solar radiation pressure? (c) A realistic solar sail would have a payload. How big a sail would you need to accelerate a 100-kg payload at 1 x 103 ms2?
