Part B Consider cosmic dust particles in outer space at a distance of 1.5 x 1011 m from the sun, where Isun = 1.4 kW/m. We can model these particles as tiny disks with e = 0.81 diameter 6.0 um and mass 1.0 x 10 grams, all oriented perpendicular to the sun's rays. What is the force on one of these particles that is exerted by the radiation from the sun? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
