    How do you determine the volume of gas in a container?

    Homework Statement I have a container filled with argon and I need to find the volume and amount of gas in the container. I don't know the mass or volume, but the measured pressure was 16.45psi, and the temperature was 298.59K. Homework Equations PV=nRT P = pressure V = Volume...

    Calculating Mirror Mass Using Laser Force

    Thanks mfb. Would this be the correct way to account for the angle of incidence? Force = 2*(Intensity*Area)/c = 2*Power/c = 2*(106 W)/(3*10^8 m/s) = 7.07*10^-7 N Force = Mass*Acceleration Mass = Force/Acceleration = (7.07*10^-7*cos(30) N)/[(0 m/s-1 m/s)/(0.015 s)] =...

    Calculating Mirror Mass Using Laser Force

    Here is my cut at it. (Had some family issues, sorry for the delay) Homework Statement A collimated laser beam of power P = 106 Watt illuminates a 100%-reflecting micromirror at an angle of incidence of ?=30 for duration of = 0.015 seconds. Prior to laser illumination, the mirror is at...

    Calculating Mirror Mass Using Laser Force

    Homework Statement A collimated laser beam of power P = 106 Watt illuminates a 100%-reflecting micromirror at an angle of incidence of θ=30 for duration of = 0.015 seconds. Prior to laser illumination, the mirror is at rest. What is the mass of the mirror m if it acquires velocity of 1...
