Let us take a small element of length dr at a distance r from axis of rotation.
Mass of the element dm = (Adr.ρ) where A = cross-sectional area of the tube. p = pressure at a radial distance r.
p + dp = pressure at a radial distance (r + dr)
Net radially inward thrust on the element = (p + dp)A - p.A
 (p + dp)A - p.A = dm. ω2.r
(p + dp) - p = ρω2rdr
p1-p2=ρω2-r2r1rdrp1-p2=ρω22r12-r22
h1-h2=ω22gr12-r22
