The intensity of sunlight near the surface of the Earth is approximately 1.00 × 103 W/m2. What would be the side length (m) of a square mirror that would feel a 1.00 N force from sunlight when held so the plane of the mirror was perpendicular to the path of the light? Number Units

In Figure (a), wire 1 consists of a circular arc and two radial lengths; it carries current i1 = 0.700 A in the direction indicated. Wire 2, shown in cross section, is long, straight, and perpendicular to the plane of the figure. Its distance from the center of the arc is equal to the radius R of the arc, and it carries a current i2 that can be varied. The two currents set up a net magnetic field B⃗ at the center of the arc. Figure (b) gives the square of the field's magnitude B 2 plotted versus the square of the current i2 2 . The vertical scale is set by Bs 2 = 10.9 × 10-10 T 2 . What angle is subtended by the arc?

Earth's atmosphere is constantly bombarded by cosmic ray protons that originate somewhere in space. If the protons all passed through the atmosphere, each square meter of Earth's surface would intercept protons at the average rate of 2000 protons per second. What would be the electric current in amperes intercepted by a 15×107 km2 area on the planet? Number Units

In Figure (a), wire 1 consists of a circular arc and two radial lengths; it carries current i1 = 0.760 A in the direction indicated. Wire 2 , shown in cross section, is long, straight, and perpendicular to the plane of the figure. Its distance from the center of the arc is equal to the radius R of the arc, and it carries a current i2 that can be varied. The two currents set up a net magnetic field B→ at the center of the arc. Figure (b) gives the square of the field's magnitude B2 plotted versus the square of the current i22. The vertical scale is set by Bs2 = 12.7×10−10 T2. What angle is subtended by the arc?
