Answer:
The statement in python is as follows:
to_the_power_of(cube_side,3)
Explanation:
As stated as the requirement of the code segment, the statement takes as parameters a variable cube_side and a constant 3.
It then returns the volume of the cube; i.e. cube raise to power 3
<em></em>
<em>See full program below</em>
<em>def to_the_power_of(val,powe):</em>
<em> result = val**powe</em>
<em> print(result)</em>
<em>cube_side = float(input("Cube side: "))</em>
<em>to_the_power_of(cube_side,3)</em>
Complete Question:
Recall that with the CSMA/CD protocol, the adapter waits K. 512 bit times after a collision, where K is drawn randomly. a. For first collision, if K=100, how long does the adapter wait until sensing the channel again for a 1 Mbps broadcast channel? For a 10 Mbps broadcast channel?
Answer:
a) 51.2 msec. b) 5.12 msec
Explanation:
If K=100, the time that the adapter must wait until sensing a channel after detecting a first collision, is given by the following expression:
The bit time, is just the inverse of the channel bandwidh, expressed in bits per second, so for the two instances posed by the question, we have:
a) BW = 1 Mbps = 10⁶ bps
⇒ Tw = 100*512*(1/10⁶) bps = 51.2*10⁻³ sec. = 51.2 msec
b) BW = 10 Mbps = 10⁷ bps
⇒ Tw = 100*512*(1/10⁷) bps = 5.12*10⁻³ sec. = 5.12 msec
