While hovering, a particular flying insect applies an average force equal to three times its weight during each downward stroke. Take the mass of the insect to be 1.0 g, and assume the wings move an average downward distance of 1.5 mm during each stroke. Assuming 500 downward strokes per second, estimate the average power output of the insect.
