This question is one of those confusing questions that have plagued philosophers and intellegent citizens wishing to solve some of life's most deepest mysteries. Its also an excellent tongue twister that has plagued quite a few tongues. Say your question 10 times fast and see for yourself.
Part of the difficulty in this question lies in the fact that each individual wood chuck chucks different amounts of wood depending on 3 main factors: 1) whether the wood chuck was in the mood to chuck wood, 2) the metabolism of the wood chuck (feeling energetic or not?), and 3) whether or not it is wood chucking season. The following website has the wood chucking statisitics for one wood chuck...http://www.getodd.com/stuf/stupid/woodchuck.html
In addition, you may be interested that your question has been a light in many minds...so much that it has even been the title of an eminent film. The film is called "How much wood would a wood chuck chuck." The plot of the film concerns the lifestyle of a cattle auctioneer. Here's the website...http://imdb.com/title/tt0074650/plotsummary
Lastly, you may wish to learn about the most esoteric wood chuck. Also known as groundhogs or whistle pigs, they are generally considered a pest that raids gardens to eat delicious melons, and have been known to climb up trees to steal an apple or two. Sometimes the climb results in a slight chucking of wood. About the size of a cat, they belong to the rodent family. Check out http://www.dnr.state.md.us/wildlife/abwoodchuck.html

As much as a woodchuck could! I think the last line is: Just as much wood as a woodchuck could if a woodchuck could chuck wood!
(I've also never "met" a tongue twister that could twist my tongue.
Peter Piper is the best....)

I guess it would be about 350 kg, if it were more
I guess the wood chuck would go chuck, chuck, chuck
and die off
You are welcome
