The charred bones of a sloth in a cave in Chile represent the earliest evidence of human presence at the southern tip of South America. A sample of the bone has a specific activity of 5.22 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon (d/min*g). If the 12Cy14C ratio for living organisms results in a specific activity of 15.3 d/min*g, how old are the bones (t1/2 of 14C = 5730 yr)?

To determine the wear of an automobile engine, a steel compression ring is placed in a nuclear reactor, where it becomes neutron activated because of the formation of 59Fe(t1/2 = 44.5 days, β-). The activity of the ring when placed in the engine is 4.0 x 105 Bq. Over the next 60 days, the car is driven 100,000 km on a test track. The engine oil is extracted, and the activity rate of the oil is measured to be 512 β - /min. What fraction of the ring was worn off during the test?

A small region of a cancer patient’s brain is exposed for 24.0 min to 475 Bq of radioactivity from ⁶⁰Co for treatment of atumor. If the brain mass exposed is 1.858 g and β⁻ each particle emitted has an energy of 5.05X10⁻¹⁴J, what is the dose in rads?
