A disk has 128 tracks of 32 sectors each, on each surface of eight platters. The disk spins at 3600 RPM and takes 15 ms to move

between adjacent tracks. What is the longest time needed to read an arbitrary sector located anywhere on the disk

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

user100 [1]
<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>

Molodets [167]

Answer:

the order of importance must be     b e a f c

Explanation:

Modern theories indicate that the moon was formed by the collision of a bad plant with the Earth during its initial cooling period, due to which part of the earth's material was volatilized and as a ring of remains that eventually consolidated in Moon.

Based on the aforementioned, let's analyze the statements in order of importance

b) True. Since the moon is material evaporated from Earth, its compassion is similar

e) True. If the moon is material volatilized from the earth it must train a finite receding speed

a) True. The solar system was full of small bodies in erratic orbits that wander between and with larger bodies

f) False. The moon's rotation and translation are equal has no relation to its formation phase

c) false. The amount of vaporized material on the moon is large

Therefore, the order of importance must be
