The test suite has been updated to test against a tolerance rather than using isequal.

It's good that the Test Suite was fixed, but the Problem Statement is still inadequate. Liquid water's density varies with temperature, e.g. ~965 kg/m³ at 90 °C, and gravity varies with latitude and elevation, e.g. ~9.78 m/s² at the poles. Density and gravity need to be either specified in the problem statement or else provided as inputs. —DIV
