What does a bar magnet do if it is able to turn freely?
One end of any bar magnet will always point north. This end is called the north-seeking pole.
When a magnet is suspended in freely still air then which direction the north pole will rest?
It depends mostly on where you are located. Where I am, in northern Idaho, the north pole of the magnet will point about 21 1/2 degrees east of the north pole.
Can an object be in equilibrium if the object is acted on by two forces that point in directions that are not perpendicular?
Yes. To be in equilibrium, the forces must not be perpendicular - they must point in opposite directions.
Does point in the atmosphere exerts pressure equally in all directions?

How a magnetic compass can be used to find directions on Earths surface?
A compass is an instrument containing a freely suspended magnetic element which displays the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the point of observation.
Why does a freely suspended magnet point in the north-south direction?
A freely suspended magnet always points in north - south direction. This is because its south pole is attracted by earth 's north pole and the north pole of the magnet is attracted by the earth 's south pole. when we hang it freely it automatically starts pointing in north-south direction. The magnetic compass also works on the same principle.

Will the north end of a suspended magnet point to the magnetic north pole?
true, if the the magnet is not labeled the north end will always point towards the north pole.
Why must the intersection of the 3 lines be the center of GRAVITY of the irregularly shaped lamina?
Friend Hilmar Zonneveld is perfectly and absolutely right. Weight, being a vector, of an object will always act through the center of gravity. Also definition of centre of gravity confirms that whatever be the position the weight would always act through a point known to be center of gravity
