Does Pipe Angle Affect Hydrostatic Pressure?

In summary, the angle of a pipe can influence hydrostatic pressure, but the primary factors affecting hydrostatic pressure are the fluid's density and the height of the fluid column. While a steeper angle may increase the length of the fluid column and potentially raise pressure at certain points, the overall impact of angle is less significant compared to depth and density. Thus, while pipe angle has some effect, it is not the dominant factor in determining hydrostatic pressure.

In the photo there are two identical containers with pipes extending from the top of the same height but at different angles, will the pressure created by the column of water differ depending on the angle of the pipe?

What are your thoughts on this question? What is the equation that gives the hydrostatic pressure at a depth below the surface of the liquid?
