Q.  An application loads 100 libraries at startup and loading each library exactly one disk access is required. 10ms is the seek time of the disk to a random location and 6000rpm is the rotational speed of the disk. Neglect the time to transfer data from the disk block once the head has been positioned at the start of the block. What will be the time taken by the application to load all the libraries, if all 100 libraries are loaded from random location on the disk?
