osmotic pressure  is the pressure required to stop the flow of solvent molecules due to osmosis.So in case of u shaped tube as in this image  hydrostatic pressure is the pressure which will stop the flow of solvent molecules due to osmosis. So hydrostatic pressure =osmotic pressure  right?And if yes  is it only in case of u-shaped tube?

Hydrostatic pressure = The pressure exerted by the weight of fluids. As depth increases in water, the pressure also increases due to an increased column of water above the point in question.

Osmotic pressure = The pressure developed by the flow of solvent through a semipermeable membrane during osmosis
