Case study Olivia: A patient reports complaints of chronic right-sided temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. She reports that she has been experiencing pain for over 5 months, with concomitant clicking after opening the mouth and a reciprocal click when she closes her mouth. She has been to the dentist, in which they told her to avoid parafunctional habits that can contribute to her symptoms. She reports an increase in symptoms since she started graduate school this fall, with her pain getting up to a 6/10 at worst and 1-2/10 at best most days. In addition to her TMJ symptoms, she also reports chronic neck pain and occasional headaches that are bilateral that occur about 25% of the month. Based on the following symptoms, which of the following diagnoses is most likely occurring?

A set of two identical disks, each uniform in composition, are attached to each other as shown above and rotate together as a rigid object around an axis located at the point of contact, as indicated above. The radius of each disk is R, the mass of each disk is M and the inertia of a disk around an axis through its center and perpendicular to the disk is I = MR2/2. What is the rotational inertia of the rigid object formed by these two disks around the indicated axis of rotation?
