Intensity of the suns light in the vicinity of the earth

Reference no: EM13558303

The intensity of the Sun's light in the vicinity of the Earth is about 930 W/m². Imagine a spacecraft with a mirroredsquare sail of dimension 1.22 km. Estimate how much thrust (innewtons) this craft will experience due to collisions with theSun's photons.
