Specific gravity = .7; Density = .7 * 1000 kg/m^3 = 700 kg/m^3

Wasn't too sure on what this could be but it looks like it is a hovercraft in which "only one propeller is used to provide both lift and thrust air". These questions however are no longer a part of hovercraft (fortunately) so no point to really learn these facts or add them to your binder (although questions like these have showed up in an invitational for me earlier this year).

Oh whoops, I could've sworn the test section didn't change. Oh well, that's right. Your turn!

A circle rotates clockwise at 100 rpm and has a constant counterclockwise acceleration of 4 rad/s^2 for 5.5 seconds. What is the angular displacement?

100 rpm = 10.47 rad/s (multiply by pi/30). Then using rotational kinematics (use the displacement equation), you get an answer of 2.9 rad counterclockwise.
