i am having trouble with part b. i understand how to find hisvelocity for part a. for part b i am having trouble finding theacceleration and i am having trouble finding the average forceexerted on his torso. how do i go about answering part b?for part bi need the answer in 2 significant figures . for the equation F=mahow is that the average force exerted on his torso?

Solar Sail
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
A solar sail allows a spacecraft to use radiation pressure for propulsion, similar to the way wind propels a sailboat. The sails of such spacecraft are made out of enormous reflecting panels. The area of the panels is maximized to catch the largest number of incident photons, thus maximizing the momentum transfer from the incident radiation.
For such spacecraft to work, the force from the radiation pressure exerted by the photons must be greater than the gravitational attraction to the star emitting the photons. The critical parameter is the area density (mass per unit area) of the sail.
To solve the second part of this problem you will need to know the following:
Isun(R) = 3.2 x10251/R2 (W/m2)
