Block A of mass M is on a horizontal surface of negligible friction. An identical block B is attached to block A by a light string that passes over an ideal pulley. The tension force exerted on block A after the system is released from rest has magnitude T. Block B is then replaced by a block of mass 2M and the system again released from rest.. Which of the following is a correct expression for the tension force now exerted on block A?

A. 12T
B. 23T
C. 34T
D. 43T
E. 2T

Consider a file currently consisting of 200 blocks. assume that the file control block (and the index block in the case of indexed allocation) is already in memory. calculate how many disk i/o operations are required for contiguous, linked, and indexed (single-level) allocation strategies, for each of the conditions listed below. in the contiguous-allocation case, assume that there is not room to grow at the beginning but there is room to grow at the end. also assume that the block information to be added is stored in memory.
