Answer to Question 1

15 rule

Rationale: kVp and density are directly related; they are not directly proportional. If it is desired to double the density and mAs cannot be adjusted, kVp can be increased by 15.

Answer to Question 2

7 degrees

Rationale: Seven degrees exist between OML and IOML. This difference is what constitutes the difference in tube angle application for the AP axial Townes.
