A box is pulled to the right with a force of 65 N at an angle of 58 degrees to the horizontal. The surface is frictionless. The free body diagram is shown.

A free body diagram with 3 force vectors. The first vector is pointing north, labeled F Subscript N Baseline, the second vector is pointing south labeled F Subscript g Baseline = 30 N, and the third pointing 58 degrees north of east labeled F Subscript g Baseline = 65 N.
What is the net force in the x-direction?

30 N
34 N
55 N
65 N
