Depends on the employer. Where I worked anything over 8 hours a day was OT even if I took a day off that week (although that was discouraged). So you need to check with HR about their OT regulations. I suspect most employers don't pay OT until someone has put in over 40 hours of work during the week regardless of how many hours they worked each individual day.
Only if there is a union contract that calls for overtime pay for anything over 8 hours in a day. There is no federal law. Many companies run a 4-day, 10 hour per day schedule. They could have you work three 12 hour days on a 36 hour week. There is no overtime pay until 40 hours in a week is exceeded.
no, it doesnt matter how many hours you work per day, as long as it makes up to 40 hours a week, check how many tea breaks you are ment to get for working 9 hours in a day though, they might have screwed you out of an extra teabreak
The Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) defines overtime as any time worked over 40 hours in a standard work week. The number of hours in a day are not relevant to the calculation. So working 24 hours in one day is not over time; working 41 hours in a week is overtime. For the purpose of this calculation, sick time, vacation time, holiday time are not considered because they are not hours worked.

OT is by the week, not by the day, except in a couple of places (CA I believe is one).
Only if you're under a contract that states it is. In most places it's based on the number of hours per week, not per day.
Under US Federal law, over time is determined ONLY on the basis of more of less than 40 hours in a pay week.
Under California state law, anything over 8 hours in a day OR over 40 hours in a week is considered over time.
If you are in a different jurisdiction, we need to know where to find the correct answer for your jurisdiction.
No.
An employee could work three twelve hour days and a four hour day and still not get any overtime.
