A U‑shaped tube is filled with water (\(\rho = 1000\ \text{kg m}^{-3}\)). The left leg has a uniform cross‑sectional area of \(2.0\times10^{-3}\ \text{m}^{2}\) and the water level is \(0.80\ \text{m}\) above the bottom. The right leg has a uniform cross‑sectional area of \(5.0\times10^{-4}\ \text{m}^{2}\) and is closed at the top by a frictionless piston. The system is in equilibrium and the atmospheric pressure is \(1.01\times10^{5}\ \text{Pa}\). Find the mass of the piston (in kilograms).
