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

Does tension equal weight in a suspended object?
No, tension and weight are not the same in a suspended object. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, while tension is the force exerted by a rope or string holding the object up.
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.
When a 10 newton object is suspended at rest by a string only the?
The tension in the string is equal to the weight of the object, which is 10 newtons, since the object is at rest. This is because the forces acting on the object must be balanced in order for it to remain stationary.
What does the free-body diagram look like for an object in vertical circular motion?
In vertical circular motion, the free-body diagram for an object includes the object's weight pointing downward and the tension in the string or force pushing the object upward. These forces help maintain the object's circular path.
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.

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.
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 many calories in weight watcher's string cheese?
There are 50 calories in one stick of Weight Watchers's light string cheese.
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.
Does the buoyant force on a floating object depend on the weight of the object itself or on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
The buoyant force on a floating object depends on the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, not on the weight of the object itself. This is known as Archimedes' principle.
