Interesting exercise: Torque, radiation, momentum and equilibrium

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the relationship between torque, radiation, momentum, and equilibrium in a physical model. Key equations include the model equation for force, \( F = \frac{P}{c} \), and the equilibrium condition \( t = rF - p\Theta = 0 \). The analysis involves the absorption of photons, with specific values indicating that 0.4 photons are absorbed while 0.6 have their momentum vector reversed. The conclusion drawn is that the derived equations are consistent and can be used to find the torsional constant \( p \) using the inertia moment \( I \) and mass \( m \).

t is Torque
I is the inertia moment
P is the power
c is the constant light speed
r is the spot distance to the fiber
p is the torsional constant
theta is what we want
In the equilibrium $$t = 0$$

$$ F\Delta T = \frac{E}{c} = \frac{P\Delta T}{c} => *F* = \frac{P}{c} (1) $$
This will be the "model" equation to the force
$$ t = rF - p\Theta = 0 $$
But, as 0,4 photons are absorbed and 0,6 has their vector momentum on the contrary
$$ (0,4\frac{P}{c} + 2*0,6\frac{P}{c}) = F $$
$$\frac{1.6rP}{pc} = \Theta $$

Is this right?
"we can find p with I and m, but if this above is right, i though the rest is straightforward
