That depends. What is the area area and angle to the vector of the leading surface, or leading surfaces, of the box?

100-N
You didn't ask a dumb question, but you did get quite a few dumb answers.
It is force 100-N because air resistance increases with greater speed or greater surface area. Air resistance from having a great surface area is probably not a very large factor because the metal that makes up nails is a very dense material, so when it gets to the greatest speed[terminal velocity], (Terminal is your 'clue' word), then it is traveling at a constant speed. And the law of inertia will say if there is no force, then you have a constant velocity. Gravity force, and terminal velocity are both constants, so filling in short:
At terminal velocity -
Air resistance(newtons) = force of gravity (newtons)

100 N ignoring force of buoyancy which is very small.

duh - 100N - no velocity change = no acceleration = no force
