A 1700 W laser emits light with a wavelength of 700 nm into a 3.0 mm diameter beam. What force does the laser beam exert on a co
mpletely absorbing target?

Answer:
F=5.7×10⁻⁶
Explanation:
Not knowing a formula outright, I decided to follow the units of some relationships I did know. Radiation pressure is defined as force per area and also intensity divided by velocity (the speed of light here of course). Breaking intensity down into power per area and isolating force gave me the relationship F=(Power/Velocity),where power is given and the velocity is a constant.
My work is in the attachment, where I double checked the units too, comment with any questions.

Answer:
Explanation:
1. We use the conservation of momentum for before the raining and after. And also we take into account that in 0.5h the accumulated water is
100kg/h*0.5h = 50kg
2. the momentum does not conserve because the drag force of water makes that the boat loses velocity
3. If we assume that the force of the boat before the raining is
where we have assumed that the acceleration of the boat is 1m/s{2} just before the rain starts
And if we take the net force as
where we take v=1m/s because we are taking into account tha velocity just after the rain stars.
I hope this is useful for you
