Correct generalized solar radiation pressure force on a circular cylinder in an arbitrary orientationIn response to the inconsistency seen in Geogevic (1973) with respect to the solution for solar radiation pressure in the case of a circular cylinder, a succinct derivation of the correct solution is presented. Numerical comparisons of the two sets of results confirm that the new formulation yields physically reasonable results for both general and special cases. A detailed graphic representation of the mathematical model used is included.
