Answer:
A. T=15.54 °C
B. Q/A= 0.119 W/m2
Explanation:
To solve this problem we need to use the Fourier's law for thermal conduction:

Here, the rate of flow per square meter must be the same through the complete wall. Therefore, we can use it to find the temperature at the plane where the wood meets the Styrofoam as follows:

Then, to find the rate of heat flow per square meter, we have:


Answer:
a) S = 1.69 10⁹ W/m², b) P = 5.63 Pa
, c) F = 20.6 10⁻¹² N
Explanation:
a) The intensity defined as the energy per unit area
S = U / A
Area of a circle is
W = 6.2 mw = 6.2 10-3 W
R = 1080 nm = 1080 10⁻⁹ m = 1.080 10⁻⁶ m
A = π R2
A = π (1,080 10⁻⁶)²
A = 3.66 10 -12 m²
S = 6.2 10-3 / 3.66 10-12
S = 1.69 10⁹ W / m²
b) The radiation pressure
P = 1 / c (dU / dt) / A
S = (dU / dt) / A
P = S / c
P = 1.69 10 9 / 3. 108
P = 5.63 Pa
c) the definition of pressure is force over area
P = F / A
F = P A
F = 5.63 3.66 10⁻¹²
F = 20.6 10⁻¹² N
d) for this we use Newton's second law
F = ma
a = F / m
