(a) Suppose a disk drive has 3,000 cylinders, numbered 0 to 2,999. The drive is currently serving a request at cylinder 500 and the previous request was at cylinder 600. You are required to construct a queue of random pending requests in FIFO order (of minimum 10 inputs). Starting from the current head position, what is the difference between the total distance (in cylinders) that the disk are moves to satisfy all the pending requests for FCFS and SSTF.
