5. (/6) Given a hard disk with 512 byte sector, an 8 ms (millisecond) average seek time, a 100 Mbyte/second data (megabytes per second) transfer rate, a controller overhead of 2 ms and a rotational speed of 10,000 rpm, calculate the following. Show all calculations.
a. The rotational latency. (2 marks) (show all work)
b. The transfer time for one sector. (2 marks) (show all work)
