You have chosen the distance to be about the distance which the light would move in 1 second. I cannot imagine the reflectance of the sphere would be greater than 99%, so if you solve the equation 0.99N=0.001, N would be the number of seconds it would take for the intensity of the light to drop to 0.1% of its original value. Using Wolfram Alpha, I find N≈687, a little more than 11 minutes.
see your previous post.
P = F*d/t = (M*g)*d/t = (500)*5/5 = 500 J./s = 500 Watts.
