A baseball pitcher in good form can throw a baseball that attains a speed of 86 mi/h in a distance of 1.3 m. Assume that the ball starts from rest and its mass is 0.15 kg. Determine the average force (in N) exerted on the ball.

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.
