Using AppleScript is there any way to determine whether an application
is not responding (is in hang state).

I don't know an "official" fashion, but I have used the following trick to know whether Finder is busy:

try
	with timeout of 1 second
		tell application "Finder" to get 1+1
	end
	-- responding
on error
	-- not responding
end

IIRC, timeout does not support fractional times, but I'm not sure.
