Storage bytes are placed symmetrically on a disk of radius 7cm. No two storage locations can be closer (arc length on the circle on which they are placed, not straight line) than 0.1cm. Bytes are distributed in concentric circles on rays emanating from the center of the disk. Approximate the location of the innermost circle of bytes that would maximize the total number of bytes on the disk. No data are stored on the outer edge of the disk.
