What is the weight of a steel stud?
It depends on the gauge of the steel used in the stud and the width of the stud. For example, a 2-1/2" 18 Ga. Steel Stud made from Galvanized Steel could be figured simply from the properties of the steel. The stud is 2-1/2" wide with a 1-1/4" flange and a 1/4" return (on each side). This adds up to 5-1/2" of steel. Galvanized steel weighs 2.156 lbs/sq ft. Now it's just math. 5-1/2" = 0.45833 ft. 2.156 lbs/sq ft * 0.45833 ft = 0.9882 lbs/ft. So, a 2-1/2" 18 Ga. Galvanized Steel Stud weighs approximately 1 lb/ft.
Can I attach the top plate of a 135' wall to the metal suspended ceiling grid Or what do I need to do to attach it to make it not so flimsy since its such a long span?
The ceiling grid is not going to help all that much. not on that long a wall. How far above the ceiling is the roof and is there something there that a brace could be attached to? A V brace every so often or do the wall in sections with a longer stud between each section that extended to the roof structure.

Why do they leave the corner steel stud unscrew before the dry wall?
If you are reffering to an inside corner stud at an intersecting wall , it is so the drywall on the wall being intersected can run continuesly behind that stud.
How much weight can 14 gauge steel tubed bench hold?
If you're referring to 14 gauge steel wire, about 60-65 pounds safely, but remember, supported weight depends not only on the wire, but the screws and nails that are attached to the object and the wall or ceiling. (Not to mention the material of the wall or ceiling. Drywall will hold much less than hardwood, so use a stud finder if possible to drill/nail into the wall or ceiling for added support) When in doubt, always use stronger, thicker materials than you think you'll need.

How much weight can a steel 2 x 4 hold?
this question is unanswerable without more information. Are you referring to a 4" steel stud? If so, it depends how closely the studs in the stud wall are spaced, how tall the studs are and if they have lateral bracing (and if so, how much/at what heights?). You also need to state what gauge the steel is. If you are referring to channel steel to be used as a beam/purlin/rafter - one would need to know the span and the thickness of the steel.
How do you hang a pot rack from a plaster ceiling?
Plaster ceilings are difficult as the plaster was applied to a series of small wooden slats that were attached to your studs. A stud finder is of no use here. My suggestion is to try and measure from the ceiling light fixture if one exists as it should be attached to a stud. The standard distance for ceiling studs is 16" apart. Use the back of a screwdriver to tap and notice the change in sound to determine if a stud is located there. You will probably need longer screws because you will be adding another 1/4" to your calculation. Most pot racks come with instructions for installation and if any further problems arise then talk to your local hardware store.
How do you find ceiling joists without a stud detector?
You really can't.If the house was made after the 1960, there are strips of board 3/4" thick nailed to the trusses or joists and the drywall is fastened to them.The stud finder will pick these up, but they're not structural and are only designed to support the wallboard of the ceiling itself.If the house is pre '60s, the ceiling is probably plaster over 1/4" wooden lath and may have a layer of wallboard over that.You're going to have to cut a hole to locate the joists if you need a strong connection.
What do you do if you just pierced your nose but you lost the stud and you have nothing to replace it with?
get a stud made with 316LVM surgical steel and if u cant find that then get studs made with 316L surgical steel. you can get these from a tattoo/piercing shop. silver and gold may give you a reaction. metals like silver and gold and such are not proper materials for healing piercings
