Two identical charged particles,each having a mass $10 \, g$ and charge $2.0 \times 10^{-7} \, C$,are placed on a horizontal table with a separation of $L$ between them such that they stay in limiting equilibrium. If the coefficient of friction between each particle and the table is $0.25$,find the value of $L$ in $cm$. [Use $g = 10 \, m/s^2$]
