A piston-cylinder assembly contains 9.63 meters cubed air at 29.4 degrees Celsius. The piston has a cross-sectional area of 0.029 inches squared and a mass of 160.6 kg. The gravitational acceleration is 9.144 meters per second squared. Determine the mass of air trapped within the cylinder. Atmospheric pressure is 0.10135 MPa.

Note: The correct answer is 8720 kg but I need to know how to solve the problem/ get to that answer with the given information.
