Chapter 33, Problem 24(choose chapter or problem)
It has been proposed that a spaceship might be propelled in the solar system by radiation pressure, using a large sail made of foil. How large must the surface area of the sail be if the radiation force is to be equal in magnitude to the Suns gravitational attraction? Assume that the mass of the ship sail is 1500 kg, that the sail is perfectly reflecting, and that the sail is oriented perpendicular to the Suns rays. See Appendix C for needed data. (With a larger sail, the ship is continuously driven away from the Sun.)
