A piece of charcoal from a tree killed by the volcanic eruption that formed the crater in Crater Lake (in Oregon) gave 7.0 disintegrations of carbon-14 nuclei per minute per gram of total carbon. Present-day carbon (in living matter) gives 15.3 disintegrations per minutes per gram of total carbon. Determine the date of the volcanic eruption. Recall that the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 y.
