(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.
