A piece of wood form the ruins of an nuclei an ancient building was found to have a `.^(14)C` activity of 12 disintegrations per minute per gram of its carbon content. The `.^(14)C` activity of the living wood is 16 disintegrations/minute/gram. How long ago did the trees, form which the wooden sample came, die? Given half-life of `.^(14)C is 5760yers`.
