Concept explainers
Multiple disk storage systems:
The computers have limited size of main memory to store data. So most of the computers have additional memory devices called as mass storage or secondary storage systems such as magnetic disks, CDs, DVDs, magnetic tapes flash drives etc.
The multiple disk storage systems are the systems which unite many drives and are used to store the data. The multiple disk storage system is also called disk farms.
Cylinder in storage system:
The disk with the magnetic coating is used in the computer. The spinning disk is used to hold the data because read/write heads are placed above and below the disk that transverses a circle due to the spin of the disk called as track and theses track can contains more information.
The read/write heads move in unison and each time read/write heads change their position due to spin of the disk and because of this reposition of disk, there is a new set of tracks which is called as a cylinder.

- True or False: Given the sets F and G with F being an element of G, is it always ture that P(F) is an element of P(G)? (P(F) and P(G) mean power sets). Why?arrow_forwardCan you please simplify (the domain is not empty) ∃xF (x) → ¬∃x(F (x) ∨ ¬G(x)). Foarrow_forwardHistogramUse par(mfrow=c(2,2)) and output 4 plots with different argument settings.arrow_forward
- (use R language)Scatter plot(a). Run the R code example, and look at the help file for plot() function. Try different values for arguments:type, pch, lty, lwd, col(b). Use par(mfrow=c(3,2)) and output 6 plots with different argument settings.arrow_forward1. Draw flow charts for each of the following;a) A system that reads three numbers and prints the value of the largest number.b) A system reads an employee name (NAME), overtime hours worked (OVERTIME), hours absent(ABSENT) and determines the bonus payment (PAYMENT).arrow_forwardScenario You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…arrow_forward
