Question: Consider a new DISK 6 5 2 1 unit with the average seek time, rotational delay, and block transfer times of 6 . 5 ,

Consider a new DISK6521 unit with the average seek time, rotational delay,
and block transfer times of 6.5,7.8, and 0.5 ms, and consider 1+ k/500 ms to move
the r/w head over k tracks. Suppose, initially, the r/w head is on track 4000. We want
to study performance of algorithms to schedule requests for disk I/Os. Suppose the
followingk I/O requests are received by the disk controller: (1) at time 0, request for
block on cylinder 4000; (2) at time 2, request for block on cylinder 6000; (3) at time
12, request for block on cylinder 1000; (4) at time 17, request for block on cylinder
7000; and (5) at time 26, request for block on cylinder 3000.
(a.) Using the elevator scheduling method, determine when each request is served by detailed mathematic expression and steps.
(b). Answer part (a) but using the first-come-first-served (FCFS) scheduling method by detailed mathematic expression and steps
