Two identical metallic spheres $A$ and $B$ when placed at certain distance in air repel each other with a force of $F$. Another identical uncharged sphere $C$ is first placed in contact with $A$ and then in contact with $B$ and finally placed at midpoint between spheres $A$ and $B$. The force experienced by sphere $C$ will be.

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
