Answer

$25.51\;atm$

Work Step by Step

The difference between an absolute pressure and an atmospheric pressure is called the gauge pressure. Therefore, the gauge pressure is given by $P_{g}=\rho gh$ Substituting the given values $P_{g}=1030\times9.81\times255\;Pa$ or, $P_{g}=\frac{1030\times9.81\times255}{1.01\times10^{5}}\;atm$ or, $\boxed{P_{g}=25.51\;atm}$
