How is a plumb bob used to check the vertical of a building under construction?
A plumb bob is a weight on the end of a string. It usually has a pointed lower end. It is hung adjacent to or in line with building elements to check whether they are "plumb" or "true to the vertical". A weight on a string holds the string under tension in a straight line down to the ground because of gravity. A person can move so they can see whether the straight line of the string lines up against the built element, to tell whether it is vertical.
