Block size is4 KB. Question 1 Which is the average latency of the disk? A 6 ms B 5 ms C 10 ms D 3 ms SOLUTION: Tlat = (60000/6000)/2 = 5 ms. Question 2 Which is the transfer time for a block? A 0.078125 ms B 0.390625 ms C 0.019531 ms D 0.78125 ms SOLUTION: Ttr = 4/(50 · 1024) · 1000 = 0 .078125 ms. Question 3 Which is the average access time for a block? A 11.078125 ms B 11.278125 ms C 11.219531 ms D 16.27812 ms SOLUTION: TAcc = Tseek + Tlat + Tctrl + Ttr = 6 + 5 + 0 .078125 + 0.2 = 11…
