A tank is designed to hold the maximum hydrostatic pressure at the base -- based on the depth of the tank, the density of the material it holds, and maximum atmospheric pressure (with added margin for safety). A tank wall may be constructed with 'thicker' material at the base and 'thinner' material at the top, to save cost. The top of the tank need only support its own weight (plus safety margin).
A pressure vessel must withstand the rated pressure at all points around the surface of the vessel.

What is the difference between a stroke and a subdural hematoma?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, leading to cell death. A subdural hematoma, on the other hand, is a collection of blood between the brain and its outermost covering (the dura mater), often caused by head trauma. Both can lead to neurological symptoms, but a stroke is due to a blood vessel blockage or rupture in the brain, while a subdural hematoma is blood collecting outside the brain tissue.
