What is the rotational delay in this case? d. What is the total time to read 1 sector? e. What is the total time to read 1 track for sequential organization?
You are given a text file of size 60 MB, which is to be encrypted using steganography in the low-order bits of each color in an image file. What size image would be required in order to encrypt the entire file? What size would be needed if the file were first compressed to a third of its original size? Give your answer in pixels, and show your calculations. Assume that the images have an aspect ratio of 3:2, for example, 3000 × 2000 pixels.
Consider an audio CD that contains exactly one quarter of an hour of stereo sound. Ignoring any additional requirements for format information and other data to ensure the integrity of the sound samples, how many bytes of storage does the CD need to contain for both of the stereo channels? Assume the sample rate is 44500 samples per second and each sample requires two bytes of storage.

The outer track 0 of a hard disk has a diameter of 8cm, the innermost track 36113 has a diameter of 4cm. For simplicity, let's assume that the head is moving at a constant speed of 2m/s. The hard disk rotates at 7200 rpm, the reading time of the sectors is negligible. How long does it take to change lanes from lane 0 to lane 36113? Enter the answer in milliseconds without decimal places.
A movie was shot in 150 fps. The movie lasted for 30mins. The movie was played in a vertical and horizontal pixel of 720 × 720 respectively. The bit depth for the video was 16 bit. This same video was shot having an audio sampling rate of 44100 Mhz with an audio bit depth of 32bit. The producer of the video decided to test the quality of the audio for the movie with a surround 5.1 channel audio system. 15 marks i) Calculate the audio file size in bits and explain its effect on the video file. ii) Calculate the file size of the video in Megabytes (Mb) iii) Calculate the bit rate of the video file and explain the effect of the value on processing of the file
A computer system has 6 page frames. The table below shows the time of loading, the time of last access, and the R and M bits for each page (the times are in clock ticks). Frame Loaded Last access R M 0 180 310 1 0 1 25 275 1 1 2 15 300 1 1 3 190 225 1 0 4 120 215 0 1 5 90 200 0 1 The system has to load two new pages into RAM, so it has to remove two of those pages that are already loaded. For each of the algorithms below, determine which two pages are going to be replaced: (a) not recently used (NRU); (b) least recently used (LRU); (c) first-in, first-out (FIFO); (d) second chance. All answers should be justified!

Consider a hard disk that rotates at 7200 RPM. The disk has 14 heads. Each track contains 1220 sectors. Each sector contains 1 KiB (= 1024 B). (a) Marcus determined the capacity of the disk, which is 74.12 GiB (he rounded the result slightly). How many cylinders does the disk have? (b) How much time is needed to read the data from the entire disk (track per track, sector per sector) if the arm needs 1.9 ms to move to an adjacent cylinder? (c) We want the maximum data transfer rate (between the disk and the controller's buffer) to be 160 MiB/s. To achieve this goal, we will speed up the rotation. How many revolutions per minute would that disk have to do?
Suppose you are asked to design a rotating disk where the number of bits per track is constant. You know that the number of bits per track is determined by the circumference of the innermost track, which you can assume is also the circumference of the hole. Thus, if you make the hole in the center of the disk larger, the number of bits per track increases, but the total number of tracks decreases. If you let r denote the radius of the platter, and x · r the radius of the hole, what value of x maximizes the capacity of the disk?
A certain disk can read data at a rate of 515.2 MB/s.
