A piece of wood from the ruins of an ancient building was found to have a $^{14}C$ activity of $12$ disintegrations per minute per gram of its carbon content. The $^{14}C$ activity of the living wood is $16$ disintegrations per minute per gram. How long ago did the tree, from which the wooden sample came, die? Given half-life of $^{14}C$ is $5760$ years.
