Our tongue weight is an example of a third-class lever.
The front axle is the fulcrum = Af
The rear axle is the force = Ar
The ball hitch is the load, tongue = T
---Af------------------Ar-------T
The distance from (Af to T) / (Af to Ar) tongue weight = rear axle load
increase.
Rear axle load increase - tongue weight = front axle weigh decrease.
Af to Ar = wheelbase.
In the case of a trailer T is the ball center.
In the case of carrying, an object on a rack, T is the center of gravity
for the item.
For the front carrier:
Af becomes the force.
The distance from (T to Ar) / (Af to Ar) tongue weight = front axle load
increase.

I hope that helps to show how much moving the rack back a foot changes the
loading.
