$500 math question on extending ball mount shank

For every inch I extend ball mount shank how much additional force (psi, torque, etc) will be generated on hitch receiver? Any rule of thumbs or formulas? Was hoping people would reply in percentage...

Torque is the force times the distance.
So it would be the ratio of the two distances. The original distance and the new distance.
