Answer 1

26214kb is the require answer

Answer 2

A magnetic disk drive with 8 surfaces, 512 tracks per surface, and 64 sectors per track. Sector size is 1 kb then the disk capacity is 262144 kb

Explanation:

• Given: the magnetic disc drive surface, track per surface, sector per track, sector size
• to find: Disc capacity
• formula: $surface*tracks per surface*sectors per track*sector size$
• steps: $8*512*64*1kb$ $=262144kb$
