True
A passage or underground structure
A tunnel
Plastic pros
Affordable
Easy to transport, install, and maintain

Concrete Pros
Very durable
Resists corrosion
Can handle very heavy loads

False, culverts
Equilibrium
Metal cons
Prone to corrosion
Not as flexible (worse customizability)
When a culvert is greater than 12 feet
Steel
If two forces of 7 Newtons are going to the right and one force of 14 Newtons is going to the left, they are equal
True

Circular culverts
Concrete cons
Expensive
