Spaceship Confusion!!!

Classical Mechanics Level pending

A Spaceship, #Darth 9901 9901 is invading Earth soon. In preparation of doing so, the ship initiated its rarely used Auxiliary Propulsion System , which utilizes a large sail of highly reflective aluminium foil to allow flexibility in motion and speed. If the sail area is approximately 1.6 k m 2 1.6km^2 and is orientated for maximum efficiency in starlight of intensity 500 W / m 2 500 W/m^2 and wavelength 550 × 1 0 9 m 550\times 10^{ -9 }m , what would be its approximate resulting acceleration produced by the massive ship in m / s 2 m/s^2 ?

Details:

  1. Assume that the ship's mass is 1.2 × 1 0 5 k g 1.2\times 10^{ 5 }kg .


The answer is 0.000044.
