B. The amount of pressure exerted by a solid is solely dependent on its mass
let me know if i am wrong
Answer:
17188 years
Explanation:
Recall the formula;
0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log(No/N)
t1/2 = half life of 14C
No = initial activity of 14C
N = activity of 14C at time t
t = age of the sample
Substituting values
0.693/5730= 2.303/t log(160/ 20)
1.21 * 10^-4= 2.0798/t
t = 2.0798/1.21 * 10^-4
t = 17188 years
