Answer:

the longest time needed to read an arbitrary sector located anywhere on the disk is 2971.24 ms

Explanation:

 Given the data in the question;

first we determine the rotational latency

Rotational latency = 60/(3600×2) = 0.008333 s = 8.33 ms

To get the longest time, lets assume the sector will be found at the last track.

hence we will access all the track, meaning that 127 transitions will be done;

so the track changing time = 127 × 15 = 1905 ms

also, we will look for the sectors, for every track rotations that will be done;

128 × 8.33 = 1066.24 ms

∴The Total Time = 1066.24 ms + 1905 ms

Total Time = 2971.24 ms

Therefore, the longest time needed to read an arbitrary sector located anywhere on the disk is 2971.24 ms

A uniformly charged sphere has a total charge of 300uc and a radius of 8cm. Find the electric field density at A point 16cm from
s2008m [1.1K]

E = <u>kQ</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

(r + h)²

where,

k = 9 × 10^9Nm²C^-2

Q = total charge, 300uC = 300 × 10^ -6C

r = 8 × 10^ -2m

h = 16 × 10^ -2m

then,

E = <u>9</u><u>e</u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>*</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>e</u><u>^</u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

(8e^-2 + 16e^-2)²

E = 4687500N/C
