Practice Problems in Naval Achitecture

In summary, the conversation revolved around finding an online resource for practice problems in naval architecture, particularly on ship motion. One suggestion was a set of lectures available in a PDF format. Another recommendation was to check the MIT OCW website, where the Ocean Engineering department now houses the N.A. department. The conversation also mentioned a longer book titled "Practical Ship Hydrodynamics" by Volker Bertram, which was found online.

This will be a long shot...Does anyone know of an online resource where I can get practice problems in naval architecture. Specifically, on ship motion? Thanks

Here is one set of lectures which have a few problems in each chapter:

You might also try the MIT OCW website. I believe Ocean Engineering is now the home of the N.A. department at MIT now.

Of course! I forgot about MIT OCW. And I have that PDF already, only the first 3 chapters have practice problems. This book is a lot longer:
"Practical Ship Hydrodynamics" by Volker Bertram. I found it online.
