Question:
Small particles might be blown out of solar systems by the radiation pressure of sunlight. Assume that the particles are spherical with a radius r and a density of 1 g/cm3 and that they absorb all the radiation in a crosssectional area of πr2. They are a distance R from the sun, which has a power output of 3.83 × 1026 W. What is the radius r for which the radiation force of repulsion just balances the gravitational force of attraction to the sun?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
