A scientific instrument continuously generates readings at the rate of 48 kilobits/sec. This instrument is attached to a computer which collects the readings and creates data packets of size 72 bytes each and immediately broadcasts the packets to a radio network with transmission rate 4Mb/sec and propagation delay 2c/3 with a broadcast radius of about 50m. What is the total time taken from the beginning of the reading generated at the instrument to the reception of the packet by a radio device attached to the radio network? Show your work. Answer must be up to 3 decimal places and expressed in millisec. Clearly note any assumptions
