Two identical charged particles are suspended from a common point by light, inextensible threads, as shown in the figure. Due to electrostatic repulsion, the threads make equal angles \(\theta\) with the vertical. When the entire arrangement is immersed in a liquid, the angular separation between the two particles remains unchanged. The relative density of the particles is \(1.4,\) and the relative density of the liquid is \(0.7\cdot\) The dielectric constant of the liquid is:
