Curved line in geometry?

In plane, or Euclidean geometry, a line usually means a straight line and a cure often refers to something else. A semicircle would be a curved line for example. But, imagine, and it should not be hard since it is reality, that we DO NOT live on a flat surface. We live on something more like a sphere. The lines are now defined as great circles. Great circles are line that run along the surface of the sphere and cut it into two parts. Imagine a plane that goes through the center of the sphere and cuts it in half. The intersection of the plane and the sphere is a great circle. These lines are not the straight lines we saw in plane of Euclidean geometry. One big difference is that any two or more will intersect. In other geometries, one called hyperbolic geometry, the lines are either traditional vertical lines or semicircles that intersect the x axis. So what I am trying to say is that curved lines depends on the geometry you are talking about and there are many of them. In Euclidean geometry we define a line as a straight curve. So the idea of a curve is more general and a line is a specific case. It has no height or width.

What are the concentric circles on the disk surface of a hard drive called?

Tracks.The pie-shaped sections are called sectors.Groups of sectors make up a cluster.


Does the read write heads on a hard disk drive actually touch the surface of the disk?

no, the head not touching the surface of the hard disk. If it touch the great chance of data may be lost. only the head of floppy disk is touch the surface of the disk.

How the working of floppy disk drive differ from hard disk drive?

The head(s) in floppy drives make physical contact with the floppy disk surface, while the heads in hard disk drives fly over the hard disk surface on a cushion of air created by the platter rotation speed. All other features of the devices are similar.


What is Difference between track and sector?

track is a invisible circle on hard disk.and sectors are the segments of these circles.


What are the segments on a disk called?

Clusters are the smallest segments within disk sectors.Tracks are concentric circles on the hard drive.Pie-shaped wedges on the hard drive are called sectors.Platters are round, thin plates of metal that make up a hard drive.

What is the hard disk?

A hard disk is the physical medium information storage device of most computerized systems. It is an actual disk that rotates at high speed. The surface is coated with magnetic material, and data is stored magnetically on the surface. A tiny read/write head on the end of an arm that can move over the surface of the disk does the reading and writing to transfer the information to and from the medium.
