Given pressure ,P = 511.2lb/in.2

We know that 1 atm = 760 mmHg= 14.696 lb/in.2

                       So 1 lb/in.2 = (1/14.696) atm

                                         = 0.068 atm

Therefore pressure , P = 511.2lb/in.2

                                     = 511.2x 0.068 atm                  Since 1 lb/in.2=0.068 atm

                                     = 34.78 atm

So the pressure in atm is 34.78 atm
