A 2.10-g sample of wood from an archaeological site gave 8600 disintegrations of 14C in a 10-hour measurement. In the same time, a 2.10-g modern sample gave 19000 disintegrations. Calculate the age of the wood.
The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.

A 10.00 g sample of wood from an archaeological site produced 3072 β particles in a 10-hour measurement owing to the presence of carbon-14, while a 10.00 g sample of new wood produced 9216 β particles in the same period of time. The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. How old is the wood from the archaeological site?
