A parabolic antenna has an opening of 15 m and receives in the normal direction a linearly polarized radio signal coming from a very distant source, of amplitude Eo = 4·10-7 V/m. Assuming that the %3D antenna absorbs all the radiation that impacts on it, calculate the force exerted by the wave on the antenna.

Question
If possible i'd like a detailed solution for this question, with the name of equations used to solve and a bit of an explanation, thank you!
Problem 13.5 Mazzoldi
A parabolic antenna has an opening of 15 m and receives in the
normal direction a linearly polarized radio signal coming from a very
distant source, of amplitude E, = 4.10-7 V/m. Assuming that the
antenna absorbs all the radiation that impacts on it, calculate the
force exerted by the wave on the antenna.
