3. (Extra Credit: 10 points) In a region of space, a sphere is accelerated by uniform beam of light from a Star with intensity I and from a planet with mass M at distance r from the sphere. The beam of light pushes the sphere away in the direction of the planet's gravitational force. The sphere is totally reflecting and has a radius R and a uniform density p. Find the equations that describe the sphere's acceleration, velocity, and position due to the beam of light and the planet's gravitational force? (Assume the Star's gravitational force is too small at that location and can be neglected, and the sphere behaves like a flat disk perpendicular to the Star's rays) mm2 Newton's Gravitational Law: F = G NOTE: Give your answer in terms of the variables given, using c and G if needed.
