Chapter 18.7, Problem 21CC
Write MATLAB code to modify the previous gravity calculation examples as follows: If the user enters a zero value for mass, an error message will be generated and the program will terminate; if the user enters a negative value for mass, the program will issue an appropriate warning message and calculate the gravity by using the absolute value of the mass; for strictly positive masses, the program will calculate gravity in the normal manner.
