Through Shannon's Theorem, we can calculate the capacity of the communications channel using the value of its bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. The capacity, C, can be expressed as 

C = B × log₂(1 + S/N)

where B is the bandwidth of the channel and S/N is its signal-to-noise ratio.

Since the given SN ratio is in decibels, we must first express it as a ratio with no units as

SN (in decibels) = 10 × log (S/N)
30 = 10log(S/N)
log(S/N) = 3
S/N = 10³ = 1000

Now that we have S/N, we can solve for its capacity (in bits per second) as 

C = 4000 × log₂(1 + 1000) 
C = 39868.91 bps

Thus, the maximum capacity of the channel is 39868 bps or 40 kbps.

Answer: 40 kbps

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero
nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers.  It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases. 

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us. 
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.
