How do you calculate satic pressure?

Consists of the pressure the air exerts in the direction of flow (Velocity Pressure) plus the pressure air exerts perpendicular to the plenum or container through which the air moves.

Why are there no trails of the skates on the ice after the ice skater has passed by?

Skating on ice happens through a process called regelation. The blade of the skate exerts pressure downward essentially causing the ice to melt due to the pressure, creating for a short time the little bit of water needed for the skater to move and then as the pressure is gone, that water refreezes usually in the ridges that are typical on a skating rink.
