NAT2 marksConsider a storage disk with platters (numbered as and ), cylinders (numbered as ), and sectors per track (numbered as ). The following disk requests of the form [sector number, cylinder number, platter number] are received by the disk controller at the same time: Currently head is positioned at sector number of cylinder , and is moving towards higher cylinder numbers. The average power dissipation in moving the head over cylinders is milliwatts and for reversing the direction of the head movement once is milliwatts. Power dissipation associated with rotational latency and switching of head between different platters is negligible. The total power consumption in milliwatts to satisfy all of the above disk requests using the Shortest Seek Time First disk scheduling algorithm is _____
