Irradiance and mode are scanned through a pressure ceiling. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Radiation pressure is scanned against a pressure ceiling

The training speed is fixed at 6 m/s and the mode is absorber. The source irradiance 3 watts per square meter gives pressure 1 over 2 Pa which is below the 1 Pa ceiling.

Radiation pressure is scanned against a pressure ceiling

The training speed is fixed at 6 m/s and the mode is absorber. The source irradiance 6 watts per square meter gives pressure 1 Pa which is at the 1 Pa ceiling.
