Your Answer would be A I believe.
Answer:
V = 0.5 m/s
Explanation:
given data:
width of channel = 4 m
depth of channel = 2 m
mass flow rate = 4000 kg/s = 4 m3/s
we know that mass flow rate is given as

Putting all the value to get the velocity of the flow


V = 0.5 m/s
Answer: the standard deviation STD of machine B is s (Lb) = 0.4557
Explanation:
from the given data, machine A and machine B produce half of the rods
Lt = 0.5La + 0.5Lb
so
s² (Lt) = 0.5²s²(La) + 0.5²s²(Lb) + 0.5²(2)Cov (La, Lb)
but Cov (La, Lb) = Corr(La, Lb) s(La) s(Lb) = 0.4s (La) s(Lb)
so we substitute
s²(Lt) = 0.25s² (La) + 0.25s² (Lb) + 0.4s (La) s(Lb)
0.4² = 0.25 (0.5²) + 0.25s² (Lb) + (0.5)0.4(0.5) s(Lb)
0.64 = 0.25 + s²(Lb) + 0.4s(Lb)
s²(Lb) + 0.4s(Lb) - 0.39 = 0
s(Lb) = { -0.4 ± √(0.16 + (4*0.39)) } / 2
s (Lb) = 0.4557
therefore the standard deviation STD of machine B is s (Lb) = 0.4557
