You are working in a laser laboratory. Your current project involves suspending spherical glass beads in the Earth's gravitational field using a vertically directed laser beam. Today's experiment involves a black bead of radius r and density rho. Assuming that the radius of the laser beam is the same as that of the bead and that the beam is centered on the bead, determine the minimum laser power required to suspend this bead in equilibrium. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g and c.)
