(a) Distinguish between static pressure, dy- namic pressure and total pressure when applied to streamline (laminar) fluid flow and write down expressions for these three pressures at a point in the fluid in terms of the flow velocity v, the fluid density p, pressure p, and the height h, of the point with respect to a datum.
