How long does it take to load a $64-KB$ program from a disk whose average seek time is $5\: msec,$ whose rotation time is $5 msec,$ and whose tracks hold $1\: MB$

  1. for a $2-KB$ page size?
  2. for a $4-KB$ page size?

The pages are spread randomly around the disk and the number of cylinders is so large that the chance of two pages being on the same cylinder is negligible.
