finally answer the age old question of how much wood a wood chuck really could chuck if it were possible for

Created by K.T. on January 15, 2013

How much would could a wood chuck, chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood dates back to early America. It is an age old question which haunts every man, woman, and child living in America. Is it possible? If so, how much? And why would these docile creatures be chucking wood any way? Is it because they have a "beef" with the wood or is it part of their ritualistic mating?

1. The size of the woodchuck in question.
2. The density of the wood.
3. The position function of the woodchuck [f(w)] in relation to the wood [w].
4. The velocity [v=f'(w)] and acceleration [a=dv/dw; or a= f"(w)] with respect to the woodchuck and the chucking.
5. Given an interval [t], integrate the function [f(w)] allowing for [a] and [v]
