The question as text

The Sun may be considered as a uniform sphere with a mass of 1.99 × 1030 kg and a surface temperature of 5780 K. A probe with a mass of 2.63 kg moves in a straight line towards the Sun. When it is at a distance x from the centre of the Sun, the probe measures the gravitational field strength g due to the Sun and the radiant flux intensity F of radiation from the Sun.
