Pac Man's Lifting Strength?

Hey there. So, I was looking into Pac Man's profile. Apparently the dude is Class 1 from Ms. Pac Man pushing boulders around. Thing is, well, Ms. Pac Man's feat was never calced. I don't think it's calculable either since there's no real figure for Pac Man's official height.

One interesting thing to note, however, was in Pac Land, Pacman can push fire hydrants and what I would assume are chopped saplings. I dunno anything about saplings since chopping them down is seriously bad practice, but from what I got, apparently a 1970s-1980s fire hydrant (bearing in mind that Pac-Land came out in 1984) weighs somewhere around 5-600 pounds: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-weight-of-a-fire-hydrant

Oddly enough, the fire hydrants still work even when pushed, so it's apparent that the fire hydrants were still both riveted and connected to the city pipeline:

Would it be possible to determine the strength needed to push a riveted object, let alone a fire hydrant? If so, how?
 
Pretty interesting. I can't remember where, but I think I once found a webpage listing the densities of various types of wood, but I don't quite remember where it was.

What thread were you intending to post that in, bro?

This thread. Because you said:

Unless I'm misunderstanding things (I haven't watched the video yet, for one.), saplings are made of wood.
