Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with each other. When suspended in a liquid of density $0.8 \;g\, cm ^{-3}$, the angle remains the same. If density of the material of the sphere is $1.6\; g \,cm ^{-3}$, the dielectric constant of the liquid is
