An electric dipole is kept on the axis of a uniformly charged ring at a distance of $R/\sqrt{2}$ from the center of the ring. The direction of the dipole moment is along the axis. The dipole moment is $P$,the charge of the ring is $Q$,and the radius of the ring is $R$. The force on the dipole is nearly:
