National Examinations, Dec 2017 — 98-Mar-A2 Fundamentals of Naval Architecture, 3 hours, open book (any non-communicating calculator permitted). Five questions constitute a complete exam paper and each is of equal value.

Reference texts: Tupper, Introduction to Naval Architecture; Lewis (ed.), Principles of Naval Architecture (PNA); IMO, International Code on Intact Stability (IS Code).

Check: this paper, although listed under Hydrodynamics of Ships (I): Resistance and Propulsion, is headed "98-Mar-A2, Fundamentals of Naval Architecture" and its five questions are entirely barge/ship stability and hydrostatics (freeboard, trim, inclining experiment, flooding, GZ curve) with no resistance or propulsion content whatsoever. Solved here as the exam that was actually printed.
