Im wondering how the relationship between the two forces works. For example if you take something that has constant tension like a tuned guitar string is there a difference in its interaction with the force of gravity with tension or without it or not really? It is two different units of force like Newtons and KiloPascals and i wonder if they or how they affect oneanother..

Gravity doesn’t care if a string is under tension or not. On earth it is still trying to accelerate the entire string “down” at 9.8 m/s^2. Whether its tight on an instrument or laying in a pile on a shelf. The only difference is how the other forces may support the string against gravity’s pull. But being tight under tension doesn’t change how much the string is being accelerated by gravity.
