The magnitude of the downward force is 800 N.
To find the magnitude of the downward force, we need to subtract the upward forces from the net force. Since the net force is 800 N and there are no other forces mentioned, we can conclude that the magnitude of the downward force is also 800 N. Therefore, the answer is 800 N.
To find the magnitude of the downward force, we can use the fact that the net force is equal to the sum of all the individual forces acting on the object. In this case, the net force is given as 800 N.
If we assume that there are only two forces acting on the object, one upward force and one downward force, then the upward force must be equal to the downward force in magnitude but opposite in direction. This is because the net force is 800 N but the only two forces involved have equal magnitudes.
Therefore, the magnitude of the downward force would also be 800 N. Hence, the correct answer is 800 N.
