Question 32

For a magnetic disk with concentric circular tracks, the seek latency is not linearly proportional to the seek distance due to

A
non-uniform distribution of requests
B
arm starting and stopping inertia
C
higher capacity of tracks on the periphery of the platter
D
use of unfair arm scheduling policies
Question 32 Explanation: 
Whenever the head moves from one track to another track its speed changes, this is the case of inertia .
Because the definition of inertia is a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
