You are performing research on the development of optomechanical systems. In one of your experiments, a uniform circular disk of mass m=21.6g and radius r=39.0cm hangs vertically from a fixed, frictionless, horizontal hinge at a point on its circumference as shown below.
J
You aim a beam of electromagnetic radiation with intensity 9.5MWm2 so that it is incident on the disk in a direction perpendicular to its surface. The intensity of the radiation is uniform over the entire face of the disk. The disk is perfectly absorbing, and the resulting radiation pressure makes the disk rotate about the hinge, as shown below.
(i)
In order for the rotation of the disk to activate a switch in a circuit, the disk must rotate through 4.00. Determine the angle (in degrees) through which the disk rotates.
