Suppose action A is an act of charity, giving 1 healthy, balanced meal to 1 starving, malnourished child. The meal itself consists of 200 total units of pleasure. Furthermore, after the eating is over, suppose that as a long-term effect (due to increased strength, restored hope, etc.), A produces an additional 500 units of pleasure over the life of the child, and an additional 20 units of pleasure for family members who see the child thrive. What is the total utility of action A, on Bentham's utilitarian theory?

Select one:
a. 720 units of pleasure.
b. 520 units of pleasure.
c. 700 units of pleasure.
d. It is incalculable because charity is a mean between two extremes.
e. Charity presents no contradictions, therefore the action has high utility.

Engines for propeller-driven aircraft are limited in their maximum rotational speed by the fact that the tip speed of the propeller must not approach the speed of sound in air (mach i). taking 6 ft as a typical diameter for a propeller of a light airplane and 1100 fils as the speed of sound, find the upper limit on the rpm (revolutions per minute) of the propeller shaft.
