What is the transfer rate of an eight-track magnetic tape whose speed is 120 inches per second and whose density is 1600 bits per second?

Answer 1

The transfer rate of an eight-track magnetic tape can be calculated by multiplying the speed by the density. In this case, the transfer rate would be 120 inches per second x 1600 bits per inch, resulting in a transfer rate of 192,000 bits per second. This means that the tape can transfer data at a rate of 192,000 bits per second.

Answer 2

-- If you typed the question exactly as you intended to, then

the transfer rate is 1,600 bits per second.

-- If you actually intended to type "1,600 bits per inch", then

the transfer rate is 192,000 bits per second = 24 KBps.

-- If the stated density is actually 'per track', then the two

figures are 1.6 KBps and 192 KBps.
