$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...

Op here....Good question, I haven't made it down to Torklift yet. And unsure when I'll be able to. But going to see if they have the math "long hand" to see exact numbers. Thanks for bringing that out. If inches matter...why doesn't math work by the inch on their extensions.
