Question: 2 . 1 2 ( extra bonus 5 % ) A spherical particle of density rho = 5 . 0 0 ( ( g

2.12(extra bonus 5%)
A spherical particle of density \rho =5.00((g))/(cm^(2)) and 2.00-mm radius is located at the same distance from
the Sun as the Earth. R_(SE)=1.5\times 10^(11)m.
G=6.67\times 10^(-11)(Nm^(2))/(kg^(2))*S=1365((W))/(m^(2))*M_(S)=1.99\times 10^(30)kg. If the particle absorbs 100
percent of the sunlight reaching it, the ratio of the force exerted by the solar radiation to the force of
gravity exerted on the particle by the Sun is
a.5.8\times 10^(-5).
b.0.58.
c.1.0.
d.1.7.
e.1.7\times 10^(4).
