we have seek = 10-50 ms
so ,
average seek = (10+50) / 2 = 30ms
and the access time = seek + latency = 20 + 30 = 50 ms
A disk cluster is a location on a disk's surface that stores data. Most disks are divided into platters/cylinders, tracks, and sectors, and sectors are grouped into clusters when formatted with a file system.
Sectors / Cylinders

No, backup is most certainly not that. Formatting is the process fo dividing the disk into tracks and Sectors.
Floppy disk has tracks and sectors.
track is a invisible circle on hard disk.and sectors are the segments of these circles.
A low-level format is the process that marks the location of tracks and sectors on a disk. A disk cannot be partitioned or formatted until a low-level format is completed.
Bits. Groups of bits are organized into sectors or blocks, which are further grouped into clusters, which are further grouped into tracks.
Hard disk formatting means preparing new space for data storage. This is by creating tracks and sectors in the disk.

The process of marking tracks and sectors to prepare the disk to receive data is called formatting. During formatting, the disk is organized and divided into individual storage units that can be written and read by the computer's operating system. This prepares the disk for storing files and other data.
