The upward force is the reaction force of gravity; it is weight, which is mass x acceleration of gravity
A box is sitting on a table. The upward force exerted on the box that stops it from falling through the table is known as the force.
Because the table is exerting an upward force on the book exactly equal and opposite to the force of gravity.
The kind of force that a stack of magazines exert on a table is known as gravitational force. This is considered to be a type of potential energy.
The object has weight - that is, gravity is pulling it down.However, the table is in the way, and it gets "squashed" by the object's weight, so it exerts a "normal reaction force" upwards on the object.The downward weight and upward reaction force cancel out, so the book stays still on the table.
Take the example of a book resting on a table. The downward force of the book's weight is matched exactly by the upward resistance of the table - hence the book remains where it is. (If the table was very flimsy, and unable to support the weight of the book, the book would accelerate towards the ground.)

A textbook on a table is an example of balanced forces. The force of gravity pulling the book downward is balanced by the normal force exerted by the table in the upward direction, resulting in the book remaining stationary on the table.
Picking up a glass of beer from the table. Force of gravity . . . down. Force of arm muscle . . . upward. Forces are unequal. Upward force is greater than downward force. Glass accelerates upward, toward mouth.
Support force refers to the upward force exerted by a surface to counteract the downward force of an object resting on it. It prevents the object from falling through the surface due to gravity. Support force can also be known as normal force.

When the book is on the table the force of gravity tries to pull it down to the center of the earth. But according to Newton's third law of motion the every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Thus the table applies the same force on the book as well. This is called a self-adjusting force as the table tries to remain in its original state i.e. its lowest potential state.

Of course. When you wave a charged comb over bits of tissue on the table, they jump up off the table and stick to the comb. The electrostatic field of the comb must be attracting them upward with greater force than the gravitational field pulling them down.
