Direction: Read the following passage and ans\\'er euestion Nos. 1 to 5.
An earthquake comes like a thief in the night. u-ithout warning. li
necessary, therefore to invent instruments that neither slumbered nor s-e::
Some devices were quite simple. One, for instance, consisted of rods of various
lengths and thickness which would stand up on ends fike ninepins. When a
shock came it shook the rigid table upon which these stood. If it were gentle,
only the more unstable rods fell. If it were severe, they all fell. Thus. the rods
by falling and by the direction in which they fell, recorded for the slurnbering
scientist, the strength of a shock that was too weak to waken him and the
direction from which it came. But, instruments far more delicate than that q.ere
needed if any really serious advance was to be made.
The ideal to be aimed at was to devise an instrument that could record u,ith a
pen on paper the movements, of the ground or of the table, as the quake passed
by. While I write my pen moves but the paper keeps still. With practice, no
doubt, I could, in tirne, learn to write by holding the pen still while the paper
moved. That sound a silly suggestion, but that rru,as precisely the idea adopted
in some of the early instruments (seisrnometers) for recoldin_e earthquake
waves. But when table, penholder and paper are all rnoving how is it possible
to write legibly? The key to a solution of that problem lay in an everydar
observation. Why does a person standing in a bus or train tend to fall when a
sudden start is made? It is because his feet move on, but his head stays still.
