11、h the crowds on the uneven pavement, rushing to check in. Then, your heart sinks when you realize your new suitcase has got a serious case of the wobbles (摇晃).Why does this happen?Scientists from the Universite Paris-Diderot in France investigated this matter and published their findings in the scie

12、nce journal Proceedings of the Royal Society AThey also suggested some solutions to overcome this modern-day problem.To learn more about the issue, they put a suitcase on a treadmill (跑步机) and observed what happened.It was soon noted that the “wobble” was actually a result of repeated actions that c

13、aused the suitcase to sway from side to side. They discovered that if one of the wheels encountered an obstacle such as a small bump, it jumped into the air for just a moment and then banged back down to the ground. That second action caused the opposite wheel to lift off the ground and then to bang

14、 back down, causing the first to lift again and so on. This swaying increased as the luggage was pulled along.“The suitcase is a fun way to tackle the problem, but the study would be the same for any trolley with two wheels or blades (桨叶),” Sylvain Courrech du Pont, lead author of the study, told BB

15、C News. “So it will be the same for a caravan (大篷车) or maybe also for airplanes.”Instead of slowing down when we see a rocky part of the path, the scientists recommended doing the exact opposite and speeding up.

16、 case from swaying.
