The Sun has a power of P = 3.85 x 1026 Watts. The Earth is a distance of (on average) 1.49 x 108 km away from the Sun. A solar sail is a distance R = 1.50 x 107 km away from the Sun. What pressure does the light exert on the sail? You can assume that the sail is not being blocked by the Earth in anyway. You can assume the system is completely reflective. Make sure to put your answer in terms of mPa (milliPascal) and include appropriate significant figures.
