The attached diagram shows the displacement of the pendulum bob, through an angle theta, as a consequence of the complete absorption of the incident radiation. Now use conservation of mechanical energy.
Delta K +Delta U=0
(K_f-K_i)+(U_f-U_i)=0
In this case, set the initial potential energy of the pendulum to zero and since the final state of the pendulum comes to a complete stop, K_f=U_i=0 .
-K_i+U_f=0
U_f=K_i
mgh=p_i^2/(2m)
mgL(1-cos(theta))=p_i^2/(2m)
Solve for theta .
eq. (1) :-> theta=cos^-1(1-P_i^2/(2m^2gL))
Now use conservation of momentum between the laser and the initial momentum of the pendulum, p_i .
p_i=p_(laser)
Use the momentum relation for light. Then relate energy to the laser power P .
p_i=E_(laser)/c=(P delta t)/c
Now substitute for p_i in eq. (1) .
theta=cos^-1(1-(P^2(Delta t)^2)/(2m^2c^2gL))
Substitute numerical values and evaluate theta .
theta=cos^-1(1-((1000 MW)^2(200 ns)^2)/(2(10.0 mg)^2(2.998*10^8 m/s)^2(9.81 m/s^2)(0.0400 m)))=6.10^@

A pulsed laser fires a 1000 MW pulse that has a 200 ns duration at a small object that has a mass equal to 10.0 mg and is suspended by a fine fiber that is 4.00 cm long. If the radiation is completely absorbed by the object, what is the maximum angle of deflection of this pendulum?
