Answer

$|w| =3260N$

Work Step by Step

The net force of the craft is equal to zero because it descends at a constant velocity. We know the upward force, $F$, and the net force, $F_{net}$ Now let's find the weight: $F_{net} = w-F$ $w = F_{net} - F$ $w = 0N - 3260N$ $w =-3260N$ $|w| =3260N$ Note: The negative sign indicates the craft is moving downwards
