A 24.5-mW laser beam of diameter 2.04 mm is reflected at normal incidence by a perfectly reflecting mirror. Calculate the radiation pressure on the mirror.

see that the correct one is D

Explanation:

In this problem the satellite is subjected to the universal force of attraction

    F = G M m / r²

using Newton's second law with centripetal acceleration you can find the angular velocity of the satellite

  F = m a

  F = m w² r

  G M / r³ = w²

and   w = 2π / T

In this case, the satellite is in a two-dimensional movement, where the free fall of the satellite is compensated by the horizontal displacement, for which it is always at a distance from the earth, remaining at the same point.

When reviewing the different statements we see that the correct one isD
