Because of gravity the weighted string of a what will hang perfectly vertical?
ANY weighted string will hang vertical because of gravity. (Technically, I guess you'd have to specify that the center of gravity of the weight is on the extension of the line that's defined by the string.)
What the Combined center of gravity is formed by?
The center of gravity of the truck
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.

Where does an object center of gravity always lie?
It is always different depending on the object. For example a female humans' center of gravity is in the hip. as a male humans' center of gravity is in the chest. But once you have found the center of gravity in an object the center of gravity should be the same in every object like it.
Does the center of mass of an object ever differ from the center of gravity?
The center of mass and center of gravity serve two separate purposes. As an individual, your center of gravity and center of mass remains the same. The earth has a center of mass. The moon has a center of mass. The moon does not orbit the earth. They orbit their center of gravity. Their center if gravity is always changing. It is not a fixed point. When an airplane takes off, its center of gravity is one place. As it burns fuel, its center of gravity changes. It might be necessary to change its attitude, which today is done automatically by computers. The computers are checked at the end of the flight by human beings.

What is the center of gravity on a sphere?
Assuming the ball is a perfect sphere of uniform density, and is suspended from a massless string, the centre of gravity is in the centre of the ball.
The angle of land is measured by this?
Tie a weight to a piece of string. Hold the other end of the string to create a makeshift pendulum. Gravity will make the weighted string point directly to the Earth's center of mass. Measure the angle between the ground and the string.

The center of gravity of the truck

How was the first straight line created?
Gravity. The path of gravity is a straight line from the origin of an object to the very center of the Earth. If you hold a piece of string up, it will hang in a straight line. Same thing with tension; if you apply tension to either end of a string in opposite directions, the string will stretch to become a straight line. The surface of still water, due to gravity, is an entirely flat surface. It also represents a straight line.
Is it impossible that the location of the center of gravity is in a point where there is no mass?
The center of gravity is an average of the location of the points of gravity. If you had a flying ring like a Frisbee but without the center, the center of the gravity would be in the hole.
What is center of gravity or mass?
the center of gravity is your step mom's BFF
