I know it's cool to use no caps and no periods but it sure makes it hard to read when you don't help with proper sentence structure. (Well, you did use some.)
ln(No/N) = kt
No = 600
N = 180
k = 8270
t = ?
archaeologist digging at the site of an ancient settlement discover the remains of a wooden structure. carbon 14 dating of the wood from the structure finds a decay rate of 180 decays/min. Knowing that the decay rate for living wood is 600 decays/min and the decay constant for 14C decay is 8270 years, determine the age of the structure. Show works!
Thank you!
