High-power lasers are used to compress a plasma (a gas of charged particles) by radiation pressure. A laser generating radiation pulses with peak power 2200 MW is focused onto 0.99 mm2 of high-electron-density plasma. Find the pressure exerted on the plasma if the plasma reflects all the light beams directly back along their paths.

75. 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 (in m2) of the sail be if the radiation force is to be equal in magnitude to the Sun’s gravitational attraction? Assume that the mass of the ship + sail is 1400 kg, that the sail is perfectly reflecting, and that the sail is oriented perpendicular to the Sun’s rays. (With a larger sail, the ship is continuously driven away from the Sun.) The rate at which the Sun emits energy is 3.90 × 1026 W. The Sun’s mass is 1.99 × 1030 kg. Gravitational constant is 6.67 × 10-11 N•m2/kg2. _______units
