The average power output is the ratio between the work done to compress the spring, W, and the time taken, t:
(1)
The work done is equal to the elastic energy stored by the compressed spring:
where
is the spring constant and 
is the compression of the spring. If we substitute the numbers, we find:
And now we can use eq.(1) to calculate the average power output:
