% Test formula to calculate the centripetal force of an object around a
% circle

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% define the tolerance %
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% tolerance is "how far away from the expected value" the result
% is allowed to be.  Since the calculation involves a square root,
% not all inputs will produce results that can be represented exactly.

tolerance = 0.001;

% Run the tests %

% Test 1

expected = 5;

if (diff < tolerance)
