Consider a tape of length 4m containing 80 parallel tracks and moving with a linear velocity
of 32cm/sec and it employs the recording density of
512 KB/cm-track. If the tape is divided into records of size 8cm and length of the gap
between the records is 2cm, then calculate effective data transfer time.
To calculate effective data transfer rate,do we need to consider the entire length(i.e 32cm) or only recording length? i.e ( for every 10 cm,recording length is 8cm,hence for 32 cms recording length will be 26cm)
