A polarized light beam, with a 6.79 mm diameter circular cross section, is perpendicularly incident on an ideal polarizer, serving as an analyzer. The intensity of the light is 3.77 kW/m2 and the angle between the beam's polarization direction and the polarization axis of the polarizer is 16.9∘. What force in piconewtons does the light exert on the polarizer?
