An archer shoots an arrow into a target 53 meters north of his position.

What do you call the magnitude of the arrow's displacement?

How large is that magnitude?

It's just 53m Displacement usually requires a direction but as it specifies to just give magnitude you can just say 53m :)

The magnitude of the arrow's displacement is 53 meters directly north of the archer's position. Displacement is defined as the change in position and can be represented as a vector. Therefore, the displacement vector would be indicated as 53 meters to the north.
