The thin film of water stands in   underpressure due to surface tension,  see diagram.  R cos θ=(d/2)  ⇒R=(d/(2cos θ))  Δp=(S/R)=((2S cos θ)/d)  F=Δp A=((2AS cos θ)/d)  with θ=0°  ⇒F=((2AS)/d)
$${The}\:{thin}\:{film}\:{of}\:{water}\:{stands}\:{in}\: \\ $$$${underpressure}\:{due}\:{to}\:{surface}\:{tension}, \\ $$$${see}\:{diagram}. \\ $$$${R}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta=\frac{{d}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{R}=\frac{{d}}{\mathrm{2cos}\:\theta} \\ $$$$\Delta{p}=\frac{{S}}{{R}}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{S}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta}{{d}} \\ $$$${F}=\Delta{p}\:{A}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{AS}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta}{{d}} \\ $$$${with}\:\theta=\mathrm{0}° \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{F}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{AS}}{{d}} \\ $$

But Δp should be ((2S)/R)?
$${But}\:\Delta{p}\:{should}\:{be}\:\frac{\mathrm{2}{S}}{{R}}? \\ $$

No sir!  2R×Δp=2S  ⇒Δp=(S/R)
$${No}\:{sir}! \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{R}×\Delta{p}=\mathrm{2}{S} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\Delta{p}=\frac{{S}}{{R}} \\ $$
