Consider a perfectly reflecting mirror oriented so that solar radiation of intensity I is incident upon, and perpendicular to, the reflective surface of the mirror.
(a) If the mirror has surface area A, what is Frad, the magnitude of the average force due to the radiation pressure of the sunlight on the mirror?
Express your answer in terms of the intensity I, the mirror's surface area A, and the speed of light c.

Agardener uses a wheelbarrow to move soil from a truck to his garden. on the first trip from the truck to the garden, the wheelbarrow is half-full of soil and the gardener applies a certain force to cause it to accelerate. on the second trip, the wheelbarrow is full of soil. although the gardener applies the same amount of force to the wheelbarrow, he cannot move it with the same rate of acceleration. what should the gardener do to move the wheelbarrow at the same rate of acceleration for the second trip?

1. jay fills a wagon with sand (about 20 kg) and pulls it with a rope 30 m along the beach. he holds the rope 25° above the horizontal. the rope exerts a 20-n tension force on the wagon. how much work does the rope do on the wagon?

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. when you push the platform, you compress the springs. you do an amount of work of 79.0 j when you compress the springs a distance of 0.230 m from their uncompressed length. (a) what magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b)how much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther? (c) what maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther?
