Average weight of woodchuck is 3.9kg. if we look at a human (agile, long arms comparitively), and perhaps use the weight of a hammer (like from hammer throw competition), which is 16kg, and AVG human weight in hammer throw… maybe 90kg? That’s gets us 17.7% of weight. Transfer to groundhogs that’s about 700g, BUT their short arms surely like t this a lot. I’ll say at least by 75%. Which leads to: 175g. A woodchuck could chuck 175g, if a woodchuck could chuck wood

You forgot to factor in wind speed, humidity and atmospheric pressure as well what it had for breakfast.

Well jeez what if it was in outer space in zero gravity? It could chuck all the wood then - whether or not it ate vegemite for breakfast
