A horizontal disc rotating about a vertical axis makes 100 revolutions per minute. A small piece of wax of mass 10 g falls vertically on the disc and adheres to it at a distance of 9 cm from the axis. If the number of revolutions per minute is thereby reduced to 90, calculate the moment of inertia of disc.
