4.948xx10^-4J4.948×104J

Explanation:

As answered for your other question
A sound level of 90.0 dB90.0dB converted in units Wm^-2Wm2 is

Let 90.0dB=xWm^-290.0dB=xWm2

Implies that
10 log(x/(1xx10^-12))=9010log(x1×1012)=90
=> log(x/(1xx10^-12))=9.0log(x1×1012)=9.0
Taking "anti "loganti log
=> x/(1xx10^-12)=10^9x1×1012=109
=> x=10^9xx1xx10^-12x=109×1×1012
=> x=10^-3Wm^-2x=103Wm2

Energy falling on eardrum ="Intensity"xx"Area"=Intensity×Area
=10^-3xxpi(0.500/2xx1/100)^2 =103×π(0.5002×1100)2
=1.9634xx10^-8W=1.9634×108W

Total energy falling on the ear drum in 77hours
=1.9634xx10^-8xx7xx3600=1.9634×108×7×3600
=4.948xx10^-4Wcdot s=4.948×104Ws

Since joule is also watt-second, therefore
Total energy falling on the ear drum in 77hours=4.948xx10^-4J=4.948×104J
