Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle of $30^o$ with each other. When suspended in a liquid of density $1\, g\, cm^{-3}$, the angle remains the same. If density of the material of the sphere is $4/3\, g\, cm^{-3}$, the dielectric constant of the liquid is
