A cylinder of a computer has five tracks, numbered 0 through 4, and each track contains four sectors, numbered 0 through 3. It takes 4 ms to move the read/write head from one track to the next, 4 ms to rotate and 1 ms to transfer data. Illustrate by using a table to calculate the seek time, search time, transfer time and total time for the request from the head location.
