Question: Problem 1 . ( 2 0 points ) : Consider a disk with the following characterigics ( these are not parameters of any particular disk

Problem 1.(20 points):
Consider a disk with the following characterigics (these are not parameters of any particular disk unit); block size \(\mathrm{B}=512\) bytes, number of blocks per track \(=50\). number of uacks per surface \(=200\). A disk pack consists of 10 double-sided disks. (Note: in this problem, interblock gap is ignored und do not need to be considered.)
(a) What is the totel capacity of a track?
(b) How many cylinders are there?
(c) What is the total capwity of the entire disk?
(d) Stippose the disk frive rotates at a speed of 3000 rpm (revolutions per minute); what is the block transfer time brt in msec? What is the average rotational delay rd in mee?
(c) Suppose the average seek time is 40 misec. How much time does it take (on the uverage) in msec to locate Ind transfer a single block given its block address? (basing on the rd and bre you calculated in problem d)
(f) Calculate the average time it would take to transfer 10 random blocks and compare it with the time it would take to transfer 10 consecutive blocks. (basing on the assumptions in problem dand e)
