Radioactive strontium 90Sr has been deposited in a large field by acid rain. If sufficient amounts make their way through the food chain to humans, bone cancer can result. It has been determined that the radioactivity level in the field is 1.7 times the save level S. 90Sr decyas according to the formula
A(t)=Aoe^-0.0239t
where Ao is the amount curretly in the field and t is the time in years. How many years will it take until the field is contaminated.
