A pressure cooker operates by cooking food at a higher pressure and temperature than is possible at atmospheric conditions. Steam is contained in the sealed pot, with a small vent hole in the middle of the cover, allowing steam to escape. The pressure is regulated by covering the vent hole with a small weight, which is displaced slightly by the escaping steam. Atmospheric pressure is 1 bar, the vent hole area is 7mm2, and the pressure inside should be 2.75 bar. What is the mass in kg of the small weight
