Ten positively charged particles are kept fixed on the x-axis at points x=10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, , 100 cm. The charge of the first particle is 1.0×10-8 C, the second particle is 8×10-8 C, the third particle is 27×10-8 C and so on. The tenth particle has a charge 1000×10-8 C. Find the magnitude of the electric force acting on a 1 C charge placed at the origin.

Two identical spheres of the same mass and specific gravity (which is the ratio of the density of a substance and density of water) 2.4 have different charges of Q and -3Q. They are suspended from two strings of the same length  fixed to two points at the same horizontal level, but a distance  from each other. When the entire set up is transferred inside a liquid of specific gravity 0.8, it is observed that the inclination of each string in equilibrium remains unchanged. Then the dielectric constant of the liquid is
