Answer:

Rotation Speed = 7200 rpm

No. of tracks on one side of platter = 30000

No. of sectors per track = 600

Seek time for every 100 track traversed = 1 ms

To find:

Average Seek Time.

Average Rotational Latency.

Transfer time for a sector. Total Average time to satisfy a request.

Explanation:

a) As given, the disk head starts at track O. At this point the seek time is 0.

Seek time is time to traverse from 0 to 29999 tracks (it makes 30000)

Average Seek Time is the time taken by the head

to move from one track to another/2

29999 / 2 = 14999.5 ms

As the seek time is one ms for every hundred

tracks traversed. So the seek time for 29,999 tracks traversed is

14999.5/100 = 149.995 ms

b) The rotations per minute are 7200

1 min = 60 sec

7200 / 60 = 120 rotations / sec

Rotational delay is the inverses of this. So 1/120 = 0.00833 sec

= 0.00833 * 100

= 0.833 ms

So there is 1 rotation is at every 0.833 ms

Average Rotational latency is one half the amount of time taken by disk to make one revolution or complete 1 rotation.

So average rotational latency is: 1 / 2r

8.333/2 = 4.165 ms

c) No. of sectors per track = 600

Time for one disk rotation = 0.833 ms

So transfer time for a sector is: one disk revolution time / number of sectors

8.333 / 600 = 0.01388 ms = 13.88 μs

d) Total average time to satisfy a request is calculated as :

Average seek time + Average rotational latency + Transfer time for a sector

= 149.99 ms + 4.165 ms + 0.01388 ms

= 154.168 ms

A company has the goal of doubling their revenue from 32million dollars to 64 million dollars over the next 2 years. If the comp
klio [65]

Answer: the company has to increase its revenue in 33.33%

Explanation:

Let's see the companie's goal is to reach 64 million which is the double of 32 million.

the company increases its revenue by 50% which means that the company  has increased it revenue in 16 millions.

32 million * 50/100 = 16 million

Now the the first year revenue is 32 million plus 16 million = 48 million

64 million - 48 million = 16 million (amount in which the company has to increase its revenue to reach 64 million)

with a simple three  rule

48 million ----- 100%

16 million -------X

X= 1600/48    X= 33.33%

a person jogs 4.0KM in 32 min, then 2.0n in 22min and finally 1.0km 16 min. what is the joggers average speed in km per min? ple
Marta_Voda [28]
Speed= distance divided by time so s=d/t

first find the individual speeds during each running segment.  we get

s=4.0/32=1/8 km per min
s=2.0/22=1/11 km per minute
s=1.0/16=1/16 km per minute

now we take the average.  the person jogged a TOTAL of 7.0 km in a TOTAL 70 minutes. so on average, they jogged 7.0/70=1/10 km per minute
