Answer:
The recording that Eli and Clara's Seismograph would show will be very close to that a real Seismograph would show. This is because the mechanism they have constructed is very similar to the real one.
Explanation:
hope this helps
he basket ball diameter used by NBA men players is around 9.55 inches
So diameter = 9.55 inch = 0.243 m
So radius of basket ball = 0.1215 m
Volume , 

So volume of basket ball used by men NBA players = 7.5 L
This is possible due to inertia of motion. which is nothing but newton's first law.
according to this law , an object tries to retain its state of motion or rest unless acted upon by an external force.
consider an object placed on a paper, initially both the object and paper are at rest. to pull the paper , we apply force on the paper and paper gains velocity. but the object keeps its motion of rest and hence the paper can be removed without moving the object.
They both use small amouts of nuclar waves
