A beam of light of intensity 1 W/m^2 hits a mirror of area 5.3 cm^2. The plane of the mirror is perpendicular to the direction of the light beam. The mirror reflects 83 % fraction of the beam, while the remaining fraction is absorbed by the mirror. Find the momentum that the light beam transfers to the mirror in 4 s.
