Question 8 (10 points): A file has 1997 records of fixed-length. Each record has 113 bytes. Suppose the block size is 512 bytes, seek time is 30 msec, the average rotational delay is 10 msec, and the data transfer rate is 512 bytes/msec. (1) Calculate the blocking factor and the number of file blocks (2) Calculate the average time it takes to retrieve a record by doing a linear search on the file if the file blocks are stored on consecutive disk blocks.
