Dear Instructors,
     My name is Steve, and I am a student of Mr. Repasky's advanced
physics class at Seneca Valley Senoior High School.  During class, I
posed this question to the class, and we would appreciate any responses
that you may have:

        If one has a half-ton pickup, and a box containing one ton of
birds was placed in the bed of the truck, the load would be too heavy
for the truck to move.  But what would happen if the box was beaten
with a stick, causing at least half of the birds to start to fly inside
the box, since the pickup can haul one half of a ton.  Would the truck
be able too move?  Would the same result occur if the situation was
identical, but took place in an airplane?
