Properties Of Matter

Water is filled up to a height \(h\) in a beaker of radius \(R\) as shown in the figure. The density of water is \(\rho\), the surface tension of water is \(T\) and the atmospheric pressure is P. Consider a vertical section \(A B C D\) of the water column through a diameter of the beaker. The force on water on one side of this section by water on the other side of this section has magnitude
