It has been proposed that a spaceship might be propelled in the solar system by radiation pressure, using a large sail made of foil. how large must the surface area of the sail be if the radiation force is to be equal in magnitude to the sun's gravitational attraction? assume that the mass of the ship + sail is 1500kg, that the sail is perfectly reflecting, and that the sail is oriented perpendicular to the sun's rays. see appendix c in your book for needed data.
