Short Answer
A possible means of spaceflight is to place a perfectly reflecting aluminized sheet into Earth orbit and use the light from the sun to push this solar sail.If a huge sail of area 6.00 *105 m2 and mass 6 000 kg were placed into orbit and turned toward the sun,what would be the force exerted on the sail? (Assume a solar intensity of 1 380 W/m2. )
