Answer

$\frac{d m}{d t}=6.2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s} $

Work Step by Step

Keeping in mind that a watt is a joule per second, the rate is $ \frac{d m}{d t}=\frac{3.9 \times 10^{26} \mathrm{~W}}{6.3 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}}\\=6.2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s} . $
