**Problem Statement:**

Two blocks are connected by a lightweight string passing over a pulley, as shown in the figure. The block with mass \( m_1 = 18.5 \, \text{kg} \) on the incline plane accelerates up the plane with negligible friction. The block's acceleration is \( a = 1.80 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), and the tension in the segment of string attached to this block is \( T_1 \). The hanging block has a mass of \( m_2 = 24.5 \, \text{kg} \), and the tension in the string attached to it is \( T_2 \). The radius of the pulley is \( r = 0.410 \, \text{m} \) and its moment of inertia is \( I \). The incline plane makes an angle of \( \theta = 37.0^\circ \) with the horizontal.

**Questions:**

(a) What is the tension force \( T_1 \)? (Give your answer, in N, to at least three significant figures.)

\[ \text{N} \]

(b) What is the tension force \( T_2 \)? (Give your answer, in N, to at least three significant figures.)

\[ \text{N} \]

(c) Find a symbolic expression for the moment of inertia of the pulley in terms of the tensions \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \), the pulley radius \( r \), and the acceleration \( a \). (Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only.)

\[ I = \]

(d) What is the numerical value of the moment of inertia of the pulley? (Give your answer in \(\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2\).)

\[ \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 \]

**Diagram Description:**

- The diagram shows an incline plane with a block of mass \( m_1 \) on it, connected by a string passing over a pulley to a hanging block of mass \( m_2 \).
- The incline makes an angle \( \theta \) with the horizontal.
- The string exerts tensions \( T_1 \) on \( m_1 \) and \( T_2 \) on \( m_2 \).
- The pulley is depicted at the top with radius \( r
