How can you verify the verticality of an object using a piece of string with a weight on the end?

For this hammer a nail very close to the object into the object and hang the string on that nail. Then let the string with weight stop swinging (best to do it in an enclosed room with no wind). When the string stops swinging, if the straight-edged object is parallel with the string, then the object is completely vertical

A picture is supported by two vertical strings if the weight of the picture is 50N what is the force exerted by each string?
If a picture is supported by two vertical strings, then the force exerted on each string is 25N.
How do you calculate tension of hanging object?
If the object hangs from a weightless string or thread, the tension in the thread is equal to the weight of the object. If there is weight distributed all the way from the ceiling to the bottom of whatever is hanging, then the tension at every point is equal to the weight of everything below that point.
Is the weight of an object the frictional force on the object?
No the weight of an object has nothing to do with friction. Weight is the gravitational attraction of the object and the planet.
What is used to measure an object?
It means to figure out the length and width of a specific item. It can be millimeters, centimeters, inches, feet, yards... Etc... A ruler is used for measuring objects and if the object is circular, you can use a string and mark the measurement on the string to measure it on the ruler.
What is the point at which all the weight of an object seems to act?
An objects weight is evenly distributed around its center of gravity or center of mass. Imagine you attach a string to some random point on an object and then let the object hang while holding onto the string. It happens that the center of gravity of the object will always be directly below the point where the string is attached to the object. In fact, this is a good method by which to manually determine the center of gravity of an object. Another way to think about it is this. If you were to apply a force to an object at some random point, in general, not only would the force cause the object to accelerate but the force would also tend to cause the object to rotate. However if you apply the force at the object's center of mass, the object would not tend to rotate in any way, it would only accelerate in the direction of the force.

Why does short string hold more weight?
The longer the string, the higher the probability that there will be flaws or defects in the string. Hence, the string can't hold as much weight because the flaw or defect will cause the string to break.
What force is on guitar strings?
I assume you mean tension. tension is a stretching force in am object (e.g. string). If you dangle a yoyo from your hand the string is being stretched by the weight of the yoyo. If the weight of the yoyo = 1N then the tension = 1N.

How would you verify the Archimedes principle for objects that are less dense than the liquid?
Two ways to do this: 1) Floating the less dense object on the more dense liquid. To verify the Archimedes principle you need to show that the mass of the liquid displaced by the less dense object is equal to the mass of the less dense object. To do this you need to have a way to determine the mass of the displaced liquid. If the liquid is in a container filled to the brim, then when you place the less dense object in it, the displaced liquid will spill out over the edges of the container. If you can collect and weight that liquid, then you can compare its weight to the weight of the less dense object - they should match. Alternatively, you can find a way to measure the volume of the displaced liquid and calculate the mass from the volume and density of the displaced liquid. 2) Immerse the object completely in the liquid and measure the force required to keep it submerged. This one is more complicated and difficult to execute and measure. The force required to keep the less dense object submerged should be the difference between the weight of the object (when it is not in the liquid) and the weight of the displaced liquid.
How many calories in weight watcher's string cheese?
There are 50 calories in one stick of Weight Watchers's light string cheese.
The weight of an object is the force of?
The weight of an object is the force of gravity.
If the apparent weight of an object can be found by subtracting the buoyant force from the weight of the object what is the apparent weight of the floating object?
Zero.
Why might scientists measure the weight of an object rather than the weight of an object?
The mass of an object does not change , but its weight can vary.
