    Computes the mass of an individual seat on an airplane.

        kind: The kind of seat. Can be "passenger", "flight_deck", or "troop".

            * "passenger" seats are standard commercial airline seats.

            * "flight_deck" seats are the seats in the cockpit.

            * "troop" seats are the seats in the cargo hold.

    Returns: The mass of a single seat, in kg. Don't forget to multiply by the number of seats to get the total mass
    of all seats.
