A disk rotates at a rate of 7200 revolutions per minute. Seek operations (i. e., moving the access head to a desired track) take on average 20 milli-seconds. Once the access head is on the appropriate track, it takes an average of one half revolution of the disk to get to the beginning of a requested sector. Each track contains 128 sectors and each sector contains 512 bytes of data. How long on average does it take to get the access head to the beginning of a randomly selected sector on a randomly selected track? Express your answer in micro-seconds (not seconds or milli-seconds).
