What is the force exerted on a surface having an area of $10\, cm^2$ due to the radiation of the Sun?

Light falls on a non-reflecting surface normally. If the average force exerted on a surface with area $15 \text{ cm}^2$ during a $20 \text{ minute}$ time interval is $10^{-6} \text{ N}$,then the energy flux (intensity) of light is (Velocity of light $= 3 \times 10^8 \text{ ms}^{-1}$)

$A$ beam of white light is incident normally on a plane surface absorbing $70\%$ of the light and reflecting the rest. If the incident beam carries $10\,W$ of power,find the force exerted by it on the surface :-
