Answer

$P = 1.7\times 10^6~W$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found the intensity at a distance of $40~m$ to be $83~W/m^2$ We can find the power of a point source providing that intensity at that distance: $I = \frac{P}{A}$ $P = I~A$ $P = I~4\pi~r^2$ $P = (83~W/m^2)(4\pi)(40~m)^2$ $P = 1.7\times 10^6~W$
