Question

Computer A is sending a 100 kByte long file to Computer B via packet-switching over two consecutive 10 Mbps links of 1000 km length each.
Assume that the signal propagation speed on both links is 2.5 x 108 m/s.
Furthermore, assume that the maximum length of a packet is 1500 bytes and that Computer A fills each packet to the max, if possible.

How "long" (in meters) is one bit on link 1?
