Question:
The sun delivers $10^3 W/m^2$ of electromagnetic flux to the earth's surface.
the radiation force on a roof of dimensions 8m x 20m, will be:
Options:
$3.33 \times 10^{–5}N$
$5.33 \times 10^{–4}N$
$7.33 \times 10^{–3}N$
None of these
Correct Answer:
$5.33 \times 10^{–4}N$
Explanation:
$ F = PA = \frac{I}{c} A = \frac{10^3\times 160}{3\times 10^8} = 5.33\times 10^{-4}N$
