After carrying out some calculations (based on experimental data) your calculator shows that the mass of an object is m = 178.54968 grams with an absolute uncertainty of + 25.0163482 grams. State the final answer for m to the correct number of significant figures (in units of grams). Now state the mass m (and its uncertainty) in units of kilograms.
