if the magnet has a low enough mass, and the string induces very little forces and friction on the magnet, it will act like a compass, the south end will point to the north pole and vice versus with north
If the magnet is hanging by one end, then nothing interesting happens.
If it's hanging from its center, and IF there are no other magnets or heavy
iron or steel objects nearby, then it'll wander around for a while, and finally
come to rest with its ends pointing toward the Earth's magnetic poles.
If you're anywhere in the contiguous 48 US states, then it'll look as if the
ends are pointing roughly to the real north and south poles, even though
those are not exactly the directions toward the Earth's magnetic poles.
I strongly suggest you try it out! You can hang a magnet on a string.The magnet will adjust to any magnetic field; if there are no magnets nearby, it will adjust to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of the magnet will be attracted to Earth's magnetic south pole; for most places of Earth, this is approximately to the north.
both of the ends will point towards true magnetic North and South
Nothing. There is nothing for it to attract to!
lets say if you were to suspend a bar magnet freely it wouldn't just swing around. it would line with the north and south pole that's how a compass works
Move towards the U magnet so that the poles attach.
the bar magnet will become stable whereever it is suspended on the north pole as north pole=earth's magnetic south pole
Nothing happens to properties because if it broken it still has north pole and south pole. Even if magnet broke into smallest piece it would still have same property.
The known magnetism in a bar magnet is electromagnetism.
If you suspend the magnet in a way that it can rotate freely (for example, hang it from a thread), one of its ends will point north. If you know which end that is (you may want to mark it), west is 90 degrees to the left of north.

Magnetic field
Move towards the U magnet so that the poles attach.
One end of any bar magnet will always point north. This end is called the north-seeking pole.
Oscillate, wiggle and wobble, turn lazily to and fro, and eventually come to rest pointing roughly north and south.
The bar magnet becomes two smaller barn magnets.
Well there isn't any positive or negative on a magnet. But to find North and South, you can suspend a bar magnet on a string and see which way it points, or use a compass. Remember that the North Magnetic Pole defines what Magnetic North is, and on a compass or a bar magnet the SOUTH magnetic pole point at it.
gago.
One way is to suspend each bar from a string tied around the middle of the bar. The magnetized bar should rotate to orient itself with the Earth north and south magnetic poles. The other bar will just hang there.
I guess the easiest way to make it turn quite freely is to can hang it from a string.
