Up and down movement of magnet induces a voltage signal in the pick-up coil.

…But the magnet is actually remaining somewhat stationary while the ground (which is rigidly connected to the coil) moves up and down.

Damped Harmonic Oscillation
If one displaces the inertial mass then releases it while keeping the housing stationary, the mass follows a damped harmonic oscillator behavior.

After the induced voltage is amplified, the rated output of the S102 Seismometer is 15 V per mm/sec, single ended output.

Instrument Calibration
A circuit in the meter can displace the inertial mass in a very uniform way. The signal produced can be correlated to a specific amount of ground motion.

Instrument Sensitivity
Recording of footsteps taken every 2 seconds at a distance of about 3 feet away from the seismometer using a concrete floor.

Instrument Sensitivity
If 15V corresponds to a ground motion of 1 mm/sec, the above footsteps have a ground motion of about 6x10-3 mm/sec. One can estimate the amplitude of ground motion by assuming a simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 5 Hz.

Ground Motion Produced by an Earthquake
P-waves•Longitudinal waves that expand and compress rocks.•Travel at about 7.3 km/s away from the origin.
S-waves•Transverse waves that move rocks perpendicular to the waves motion.•Travel at about 4.6 km/s away from the origin.

Scales to Measure the Strength of Ground Motion
•Richter Scale
•Mercalli Scale
![Page 20: Measuring Ground Vibrations Using the S102 Seismometer A Presentation by Dr. Alan Scott Department of Physics University of Wisconsin-Stout.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d205503460f949f4b66/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Richter ScaleIt is a measure of the amplitude of ground vibration using a seismometer.
With the seismometer a standard distance of 100 km away from the epicenter, one gets:
Amplitude (mm)

Modified Mercalli Scale
I. Not felt except by a very few under especially favorable conditions.
II. Felt only by a few persons at rest, especially on upper floors of buildings.
III. Felt quite noticeably by persons indoors, especially on upper floors of buildings. Many people do not recognize it as an earthquake. Standing motor cars may rock slightly. Vibrations similar to the passing of a truck. Duration estimated.
IV. Felt indoors by many, outdoors by few during the day. At night, some awakened. Dishes, windows, doors disturbed; walls make cracking sound. Sensation like heavy truck striking building. Standing motor cars rocked noticeably.
V. Felt by nearly everyone; many awakened. Some dishes, windows broken. Unstable objects overturned. Pendulum clocks may stop.
![Page 22: Measuring Ground Vibrations Using the S102 Seismometer A Presentation by Dr. Alan Scott Department of Physics University of Wisconsin-Stout.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d205503460f949f4b66/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Modified Mercalli ScaleVI. Felt by all, many frightened. Some heavy furniture moved; a few instances of fallen plaster. Damage slight.
VII. Damage negligible in buildings of good design and construction; slight to moderate in well-built ordinary structures; considerable damage in poorly built or badly designed structures; some chimneys broken.
VIII. Damage slight in specially designed structures; considerable damage in ordinary substantial buildings with partial collapse. Damage great in poorly built structures. Fall of chimneys, factory stacks, columns, monuments, walls. Heavy furniture overturned.
IX. Damage considerable in specially designed structures; well-designed frame structures thrown out of plumb. Damage great in substantial buildings, with partial collapse. Buildings shifted off foundations.
X. Some well-built wooden structures destroyed; most masonry and frame structures destroyed with foundations. Rails bent.
XI. Few, if any (masonry) structures remain standing. Bridges destroyed. Rails bent greatly.
XII. Damage total. Lines of sight and level are distorted. Objects thrown into the air.
