Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle $\theta$ with each other. When suspended in water,the angle remains the same. If the density of the material of the sphere is $1.5 \ g/cc$,the dielectric constant of water will be (Take density of water $= 1 \ g/cc$)

Two beads,each with charge $q$ and mass $m$,are on a horizontal,frictionless,non-conducting,circular hoop of radius $R$. One of the beads is glued to the hoop at some point,while the other one performs small oscillations about its equilibrium position along the hoop. The square of the angular frequency of the small oscillations is given by [ $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.]
