The barrel theory seems to have a flaw: when using a barrel to hold water, one can tilt the barrel; if the shortest plank is at the top, it has little impact! This is just my humble opinion; what do you think? :lol
Hehe, can a tilted bucket hold the most water?
A foolish opinion remains a foolish opinion; bias will only decrease!
It is recommended to use an inner lining that is higher than that of a wooden barrel, or opt for an iron barrel for storing water, or simply use bottled water. This is an analogy used to explain the principle; when explained in terms of actual practices, the two approaches are not compatible at all: L
Hahaha, exactly right! ! ! ! !
If you don’t believe it, you can give it a try.:lol
An inclined shape allows for more water to be held; if you don’t believe it, you can simulate it using a computer.
The original poster is extremely intelligent – there are so many topics!! I admire them greatly, I’m utterly in awe; truly admirable!
The barrel theory is also used to analyze practical problems; for example, in defending a city, there might be such a weak point that makes it easy to be attacked. What about the inclination factor?
If the water contained is in a solid state, it shouldn’t really matter much regarding the short sides of the wooden barrel, right?
