The length of a magnet is large compared to its width and breadth. The time period of its oscillation in a vibration magnetometer is $2 s$ . The magnet is cut into three equal parts of length $\frac{L}{3}$ each, and three parts are then placed on each other with their like poles together. The time period of this combination will be
