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 [tex]F_N[/tex].
- The second vector is pointing south, labeled [tex]F_g = 30 \, \text{N}[/tex].
- The third vector is pointing 58 degrees north of east, labeled [tex]F = 65 \, \text{N}[/tex].
What is the net force in the x-direction?
A. 30 N
B. 34 N
C. 55 N
D. 65 N
