$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...

On my 10K equal-i-zer that would result in about a 15” shank. That’s considerably longer than most people use.
