A disk has 1024 sectors/track and a rotation rate of 7200 RPM. What is the sustained transfer rate of the disk over one track? in bytes per second?
Does any body a formula that can lead me to answer?

Why would you ever care to know that?
The transfer rate depends on a lot of factors, including the use of cache, disk density, and the mechanical performance of head movement. There's not a formula that's going to tell you the max capability. Think about it. Hard drives used to average 30-35MB/s just a few years ago. Now they're averaging in the mid 40s, with some as high as 55. There are peak transfer rates in the 70s and 80s too.
There's just too much at play to calculate in a single formula, and it varies from drive to drive...
