... Test harnesses should perform the following tests: . check run-to-completion. check whether the output data is valid (e.g. within a specified range). check some of the values in the output to see whether they are correct (e.g. whether a source is detected where it was put in the first place; whether a sorted vector is really sorted). when the task should explicitly be able to handle special cases, test whether the special cases are dealt with properly. ...

... A lightweight stick with two balls of equal weight at its end obviously has its CG in the middle. When one ball is twice the weight of the other, the CG divides the distance between them by a ratio 1:2, in a way that makes it closer to the heavier mass ( see figure ). ... Even though the balls are separate, one can speak of their common center of gravity, on the line connecting their centers, 1/3 of the distance from the center of the heavier ball. ...
