Two spheres having the same radius and mass are suspended by two strings of equal length from the same point in such a way that their surfaces touch each other. On depositing a charge of $2 \times 10^{-6} \ C$ on them,they repel each other such that in equilibrium,the angle between their strings becomes $60^{\circ}$. If the distance from the point of suspension to the center of the sphere is $10 \ cm$,find the mass of each sphere. $(k = 9 \times 10^9 \ SI, g = 10 \ ms^{-2})$. (in $kg$)
