RE: Why are tankers that haul liquid cylindrical? Can't it be, say, rectangular?
This is good.
It had never really come to mind despite the fact that I pass tankers daily on the road but once I saw this I knew I had to read up.
I agree on the pressure generated weak spots. In a general sense, the cylinder provides a more sturdy figure than most shapes
I agree with you. It is the best shape to use.
