For the answer to the question above, if your question is a lever with a pivot and which sounds more likely ... then I would say from the principle of moments: F1*d1=F2*d2

given F1=high and F2=low - - - > d1 must be low and d2 high for the equations to be balanced.

So the answer is simply: Inversely
