When a violinist pulls the bow across a string, the force with which the bow is pulled

Question:

When a violinist pulls the bow across a string, the force with which the bow is pulled is fairly small, about 0.6 N. Suppose the bow travels across the A string, which vibrates at 440 Hz, at 0.5 m/s. A listener 35 m from the performer hears a sound of 60 dB intensity. With what efficiency is the mechanical energy of bowing converted to sound energy? (Assume that the sound radiates uniformly in all directions.)
