The statements which are true are as follows:

The net charge inside the surface is zero.The electric field is zero everywhere on the surface.The number of electric field lines entering the surface equals the number leaving the surface.

Explanation:

The electric flux through a surface is defined as the number of electric field lines passing through the unit area of that surface normally.

It is given as

$\phi = \vec E \cdot \vec A\ \ \ \ \ ...........\ (1).$

According to Gauss' law, it is given as

$\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_o}\ \ \ \ .........\ (2).$

where,

is the net charge enclosed by the surface.

$\epsilon_o$ is the electrical permittivity of free space.

Statement 1: There are no charges inside the surface.

It is not a necessary condition for electric flux through that surface to be zero because the even if there is some charge present inside the surface such that the net charge(sum of all charges) inside the surface is zero, then the electric flux through that surface is also zero.

Thus, this statement need not to be necessarily true.

Statement 2: The net charge inside the surface is zero.

As mentioned in the above part of the answer, if the net charge inside the surface is zero then the electric flux through that surface must be zero.

Thus, this statement must be true.

Statement 3: The electric field is zero everywhere on the surface.

According to the equation (1), the electric flux through that surface must be zero.

Thus, this statement must be true.

Statement 4: The number of electric field lines entering the surface equals the number leaving the surface.

If the number of electric field lines passing through that surface is equal to that of electric field lines leaving that surface then it means there is not any charge present inside the surface. In that case, the electric flux through the surface is zero.

Thus, this statement must be true.

The bubba chump shrimp company processes and packages shrimp for sale to wholesale seafood distributors. the shrimp are transported to the main plant by trucks that carry 1,000 pounds (lb) of shrimp. once the continuous flow processing of the shrimp begins, no inventory is allowed in buffers due to spoilage and all of the shrimp must be processed within 12 hours to prevent spoilage. the processing begins at the sorter, where the trucks dump the shrimp onto a conveyor belt that feeds into the sorter, which can sort up to 500 lb per hour. the shrimp then proceed to the desheller, which can process shrimp at the rate of 400 lb per hour. however, after 3 hours and 45 minutes of processing, the desheller must be stopped for 15 minutes to clean out empty shrimp shells that have accumulated. the veins of the shrimp are then removed in the deveining area at a maximum rate of 360 lb per hour. the shrimp proceed to the washing area, where they are processed at 750 lb per hour. finally, the shrimp are packaged and frozen. what is the daily process capacity of the processing plant (excluding the packaging and freezing)?
