A horizontal disc is rotating about a transverse axis through its centre at $100 \mathrm{rpm}$. A $20 \mathrm{gram}$ blob of wax falls on the disc and sticks to it at $5 \mathrm{~cm}$ from its axis. The moment of inertia of the disc about its axis passing through its centre is $2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2$. Calculate the new frequency of rotation of the disc.
