Say I was dropping twinkies off the stairs (don't ask), and it took them 1.3 seconds to drop 8.31 meters. And they broke after the third drop, how much force can they take?

well , gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared, they made it almost that far ...............hmmmmmmmmmm
kg M s^2 = one newton * meter = one joule
maybe almost a joule

Can't say. The force remains the same with each drop. They broke after the 3rd. How much were they weakened on the first and second?

force = mass * gravity
what is the mass? (gravity=9.8)
Since it took three drops to break, they can approaximately take 1.5 times the force.
Hey, what ware twinkies? Pls let me know.

are they supposed to be in one piece or smushed? Will this nulify your experiment if they are flat?
