: Why do we have more force with an object when it’s longer (for example bending metal with a long metal stick that is a few meters away)

It takes the same ‘effort’ (work, energy) to move a thing a certain distance. You can do something easy over a long distance or something hard over a short distance.
Think of bike gears. At a low gear it’s really easy to pedal but you have to pedal really fast to actually move. At a high gear you don’t have to pedal as much to go fast, but it’s hard to pedal.
