Why is national defense considered a public good?

First, you need to know what is a public good.A public good is by definition something non-rival and non-excludable.Non-roval means that somebody can have the good and you can have it at the same time.Non-excludable means nobody can deny you the access to the good.That said, we can say that National Defense is a public good if we consider it only provides deterrence from another attack. That because everybody can profit of the deterrence at the same time and because no other citizen can deny you the protection offered by the national defense.Voilà!

What is free riding problem in economics?

Free riding is a problem encountered with public goods. (Public goods are those goods which are considered to be (mostly) non-rival and non-excludeable. That is, one person's consumption of the good doesn't "use up" the good, and it is very hard, expensive or impossible to keep someone from consuming the goods. A common example is national defense. Many environmental goods are, at least in part, public goods.) A free rider is someone who consumes a public good (because their consumption is non-excludeable) without paying for it. In fact, from the point of view of the individual consumer, it is rational to consider free riding, as long as others are willing to buy enough of the public good to satisfy your needs. For example, Bill Gates might have more to lose were the United States invaded, so he might be willing to pay enough for national defense to satisfy the needs of a hobo in Hoboken. However, from a societal standpoint, it is optimal to have everyone who wants to use the public good split the cost. Usually, the only way to accomplish this is through mandatory taxation, which is why most public goods are provided by the government and not private enterprise.
