The force holding an object is typically due to the interaction between molecules and atoms of the object's surface and the surface it is resting on. This force is known as static friction and prevents the object from moving when a force is applied to it.
No, work is not done when holding an object still. Work is defined as force applied over a distance, so if the object is not moving, no work is being done.
The centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path by pulling it towards the center of the circle. This force prevents the object from moving tangentially and ensures it maintains its circular motion.
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 support force is a reactive force exerted by a surface in response to the weight of an object placed on it. It prevents the object from falling through the surface by counteracting the downward force of gravity. In other words, it is responsible for holding the object up and maintaining its position.
Two forces acting on a hanging object are tension, which is the force exerted by the string or rope holding the object up, and gravity, which is the force pulling the object downward towards the Earth.

The force that resists stretching or pressing in an object is known as tensile strength or compressive strength, depending on the type of force being applied. This force prevents the object from deforming or breaking under tension or compression by holding its structural integrity.
The force of your hands holding on two sides of the object you wish to hold. Although the gravitational force that is pulling the object downward is great; the force your hands are pressing onto the sides of the object is a lot greater. You will find that if you don't hold an object as tightly (decrease the force) it may drop. This is because the gravitational force increases.
For an object to move, it needs a force to act upon it. This force can be exerted through actions like pushing, pulling, or gravity. Additionally, the object must be free to move, with no constraints holding it in place.
An object falls when you let go of it because of the force of gravity pulling it towards the Earth. When you are holding the object, you are counteracting the force of gravity with your hand, but once you let go, there is no longer any force opposing gravity, so the object falls.
Centripetal force is the force necessary to apply to an object to get it to orbit; like spinning a rock on a string. It you are holding on to the string, you will feel a centrifugal force.
There are many forces that act to resist motion: friction, air drag, water drag, even another person holding something back. If you are holding something in your arms, you are resisting Earth's gravitiational pull on that object. In other words, if you weren't holding it, it would fall.
Yes, force is needed to pick up an object. When you lift an object, you exert an upward force against the force of gravity acting on the object. The amount of force needed depends on the weight of the object.
