Answer:

Given that the time to read data off a 7200 rpm disk drive will be roughly 75% of 5400 rpm disk, at 30% idle time of 7200 rpm disk will the power consumption be equal, on average for the two disk

Explanation:

Let the 7200-disk busy time = x  ( we need to calculate it)

As given in the question the in the given time to read data off a 7200 rpm disk drive will be roughly 75% of 5400 rpm disk. This mean that we equalize the equations of both disk power

7200-disk power      =     5400-disk power

here we apply the formula to calculate the 7200 rpm disk busy time

4.0 * (1-x) + 7.9 * x      =     2.9 * (1-x/0.75) + 7.0 * x/0.75

4.0 + 3.9 x                  =      2.9 – 3.87 x + 9.33 x

1.1                                =        5.47 x – 3.9 x

we calculate the value for x

Hence                   x = 0.70

Applying formula to calculate the idle time.

Idle time = 1.0 – 0.70 = 0.30

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Area = 6.25

Explanation:

Given

Length = 2.5

Width = 2.5

See attachment for rectangle

Required

Determine the area of the rectangle

Area is calculated as:

Area = Length * Width

This gives:

Area = 2.5 * 2.5

Area = 6.25

<em>The area of Andrea's sketch is 6.25</em>

I want to take several courses of MIT OCW, and I'm searching for study groups. Is this website the place to find them?
Ymorist [56]
No, this website is not for study groups. It's more of a 'question and answer' website. There is no actual communication on one certain subject. Although I do know a few websites that have worked really well for me,where you can create and participate in study groups;
-studyblue
- studyhall
- getstudyroom
all of these are safe websites that are used by wide variety of students, therefore i'm sure you can find plenty of people interested in learning the same things as you!

An online game is played with two dice. In this context, explain what is meant by decomposition.
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

This question is about desinging a game that is played with two dice and gets or shows their value to the player.

The dice value is random, and it can be between one and six. So, you need to generate two numbers between 1 and 6. You may also need to display the numbers

The main part of this program is that you need to know the numbers to limit or restrict what the user may do next while playing.

That's most of the first level of decomposition for solving a problem. In decomposition, you need to keep decomposing (breaking) the problem into smaller pieces, thinking outline of the program and deciding what objects, functions, variables, and logic you're going to implement in the coding.

How to revive a computer if it functions in an unexpected manner?
julsineya [31]
This would depend on the issue the computer is having. 

In many cases though a simple reboot does the trick. 

If your computer is slow and glitches, try cleaning it for viruses and also clean the fans. If they are dusty the computer can overheat and that can cause it to slow while its working harder to cool down.

In other cases you may not be running the proper software compatible with your device, or programs may be outdated. Check online with the company that manufactured your computer to see if you need to install updates or change certain software.
