Solve the all parts of given problem:

Problem: Air is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly such that the piston is in static equilibrium. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 101 kPa on top of the 0.5-m-diameter piston. The gage pressure of the air inside the cylinder is 1.2 kPa. The local acceleration of gravity is g = 9.81 m/s². Subsequently, a weight is placed on top of the piston causing the piston to fall until reaching a new static equilibrium position. At this position, the gage pressure of the air inside the cylinder is 2.8 kPa.

Part A: Determine the mass of the piston in kg?

Part B: Determine the mass of the added weight, in kg?

Please show your results in detailed calculations.
