An RAO rib projection was completed using the “old” technical factors listed in the imaging department.  After examination of rib fractures and admission to the hospital the referring physician would now like an AP portable CXR.  You are tasked with setting a manual 3-point technique using the given “new” technical factors. What is the new time needed to maintain adequate imagine receptor exposure?
