An earth-orbiting satellite has a solar energy collecting panel with total area 5 m 2 . If solar radiations are perpendicular and completely absorbed, the average force associated with the radiation pressure is (Solar constant = 1.4 k W m - 2 )

Question

An earth-orbiting satellite has a solar energy collecting panel with total area 5 m 2 . If solar radiations are perpendicular and completely absorbed, the average force associated with the radiation pressure is (Solar constant = 1.4 k W m - 2 ), 2.33 × 10 - 3 N, 2.33 × 10 - 4 N, 2.33 × 10 - 5 N, 2.33 × 10 - 6 N

We know that, P o w e r = I × a r e a = ( 1.4 × 10 3 ) × 5 Force F = P o w e r c = 1.4 × 10 3 × 5 3 × 10 8 = 2.33 × 10 - 5 N
