A water tank is supported by four pillars. The pillars are strong enough to sustain ten times the stress developed in them when the tank is completely full. An engineer decides to increase the every dimension of the tank and the pillars by hundred times so as to store more water. Do you think he has taken a right decision? Assume that material used in construction of the tank and pillars remain same.
